Futuristic speculation combines with murder when a scientific expedition on a faraway planet searches for an alien species only to be stalked by a determined killer who may be a hostile alien or a member of their own team.

Squirrel-killer once again available towards original purpose.
Aim at squirrel.
Scare squirrel.
Squirrel runs away.
It is a book, it was never going to realistically cause any damage to the poor rodent now, would it?
It only took a little more than 9 months to read. And I teared up in the end. Good book.
[b:Great North Road 13573419 Great North Road Peter F. Hamilton https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1344371600s/13573419.jpg 19154394] is long. It is complex. It crosses genre's.Most of all, the book is an SF story as it is set in the future, the action occurs on multiple planets, and involves alien contact. There is a murder to be resolved, so it is a police procedural. It also has lots of high-tech hijinks and action, giving it a techno-thriller feel. There are conspiracies and secret agendas, giving it a mystery/spy feel. Peter F. Hamilton twines it all together and makes it work.Good book.
Three stars for my first ever Hamilton. “Crap on that!” (Read the book and you'll understand).
