In the end it is a very convincing and very successful universe.
Fans of PF HAMILTON style will have something to be thrilled as usual.
About a third of the novel takes place in a vacuum and there is a world of fantasy.
The laws of physics are different and everything works on magic-technological bases.
As usual the opinions will be shared.
Personally if there is always one or more aspects that block me at PF ... HAMILTON:
I usually do not have to pay attention to the end because of his style, his ability to create worlds and very compelling characters.
He has a real talent as a storyteller and his universe are bursting with life as it mesmerizes me and excites me to no end. .
My favorite (among others) by this author: Fallen Dragon.
