À propos de cet audio

Read by Peter Kenny, award-winning narrator of the Culture series by Iain M. Banks.

In a ravaged near-future England, a private detective with psychic powers might be the last hope standing between mankind and total collapse. Mindstar Rising is the first cyberpunk thriller in Peter F. Hamilton's hugely popular Greg Mandel series. For fans of James S.A. Corey.

It's the 21st century and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too – the companies possess all the best hardware, and they're calling the shots now.

In a world like this, a man open to any offers can do just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who's psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment and carrying state-of-the-art weaponry. He's also been part of the English Army's Mindstar Battalion.

As the cartels battle for control of a revolutionary new power source, and corporate greed outstrips national security, tension is mounting to boiling point. And Greg Mandel is about to face the ultimate test.

Mindstar Rising is followed by A Quantum Murder and The Nano Flower to complete the Greg Mandel trilogy.

Ce que les critiques en disent

A pacey traditionally styled adventure yarn in which the reader can revel . . . Hamilton doesn’t mess about . . . the story races ahead with verve and flair (Starburst)
The plotting is tight and ingenious (Interzone)
Hamilton appears as a full-fledged SF technician, able to manage the demands of the genre without working up a sweat (Locus)
A stunning new debut novel . . . possibly the best since Bester, incorporating future predictions of climate, social, social, business, and political behaviour, completing this with hard science, believable scenarios, excellently balanced characters, and a good well-told story. What more do you want? Not to be missed (Critical Wave)

This has got to be my least favourite work of Hamilton's I have read so far. I found it super boring; it just didn't draw me into the world at all. I'm not sure why anyone would compare this to James S.A. Corey. There is basically no outer space exploration or survival, much more like Neuromancer cyberpunk vibes, kinda reminds me of The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds but not even close to as good as either of those books. Only recommend if you like really like the cyberpunk detective genre. I don't think I'll continue the series unless I am really desperate.

Not comparable to James S.A. Corey
