Description

In the distant future, corporations have become sustainable communities with their own militaries, and corporate goals have essentially replaced political ideology. On a youthful, rebellious impulse, Lawrence joined the military of a corporation that he now recognizes to be ruthless and exploitative. His only hope for escape is to earn enough money to buy his place in a better corporation. When his platoon is sent to a distant colony to quell a local resistance effort, it seems like a stroke of amazing fortune, and Lawrence plans to rob the colony of their fabled gemstone, the Fallen Dragon, to get the money he needs. However, he soon discovers that the Fallen Dragon is not a gemstone at all but an alien life form that the local colonists have been protecting since it crashed in their area. Now Lawrence has to decide if he will steal the alien to exploit the use of its inherent biotechnical processes - which far exceed anything humans are capable of - or if he will help the Resistance get the alien home.

hints of old man's war

great book! peters mastery of the grand scope spanning millions of years and the smaller character stories are just a wonder. The stories are never what you think they are.

A true anti-hero

At first I thought I didn't like this book very much. Then I realized it was the protagonist I disliked. He's a jerk, entitled, and wrong on so many levels.

I marked this as a coming-of-age story. The fact it took him 20+ years is not a mark in his favor. I do not feel he deserves a mulligan.

Interesting, but a little confusing at times.

I want to preface by saying PFH is one of my favourite authors. With most PFH books, in my opinion his greatest strength is also his greatest flaw. He knows how to build a world and go into great detail, but at times I found a few subplots he is included to be pointless and forgettable. Maybe his work is just not meant to be read as an audiobook, but John Lee is my favourite narrator so I’m conflicted.

This was a cool story and a lot of interesting ideas, but it was a little anticlimactic. I felt like it jumped around quite a bit and I only knew what was going on half of the time. Likeable antagonist though.

Pretty good a bit drawn out

A character focused story that meanders for most of its length but hamiltons writing Carrie’s it. Overall a bit slow but a good listen.

If you like Peter Hamilton’s books - this one is excellent

His books are long. That’s fine by me but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The story is very good and characters relatable. I’m glad I picked this one up and I’m still thinking about the themes of the book days after finishing it. Give it a try if the length of the book doesn’t scare you away.

this story is top 10 of the worst I've ever heard.

first it's poorly written. In a way that it actually gets progressively worse the more you invest time listening to it. Going back and forth in timelines was wasted effort and actually made the experience worse because of the narrative jet lag i suffered every chapter.

why do characters swith morals and intelligences whenever it convenient for the writer to move on to the next exposition hour. The main character is less a person with human emotions and more like 3 roosters in a trench coat. they're always simultaneously a genius and idiot when the narrative suit. ppl don't care about their actions, they don't reflect or GROW they don't show much human emotions at all. There a coldness you feel, a distinct separation in humility in the way they were written. it feels like spite

Third narrative drop of several times with care or warning and are never picked up again. it's like the author doesn't want me to care about the book.

these problems cumulate in a bad bad end , that get catastrophically worse the more you analyze it. don't waste the cred
