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.
