The Neutronium Alchemist : Part I - Consolidation

Rating:
Summary: Better than Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein
Review: This so far is the best Sci-Fi series I've read. It truely uses science whereas many other books claim to, but get too involved with interplanetary politics. Or simple murder mystery in space with some aliens as a side bar like what Gentry Lee has done with Clarke's Rama. Hamiliton does use many characters, but its is a big universe. He is setting the standard for modern Sci-Fi, and he has just dated Asimov, Clarke and others. They were all great writers, but limited by the technology of their times. Hamiliton uses current tech. and current fantasized future technology to sculpt an incredible series. He will certainly appear in the marquee of great Sci-Fi writers.

Summary: Peter F. Hamilton is worthy of stardom. 5 stardom.
Review: To anyone reading these reviews, the only thing I can say to you is that it is better than anyone says. People try to tell you that the story could've been told with less words and less chapters even. Let me tell you the truth. Don't let the size of the book intimidate you. Any good reader breezes right through Hamiltons outstanding use of parrallelism without slowing down as is done in naturalism. This entire series is worth every minute you spend on it. I've actually skipped work to continue flipping pages and drooling over the development. The cheesy subject only makes it cooler. Hamilton shows exactly how the human race would react to this plague. This series is outstanding.

Summary: plot buggy, but thrilling
Review: Very thrilling, indeed, and that makes more than up for some essential weaknesses in character development. What annoys me though: Even today the living outnumber the dead. Given a rise of the population to about 500 billion in a couple of hundred years, as P.H. describes, this must be even more the case then. P.H. should have done some Math instead of just trusting his common sense!

Summary: Ultimate "Starship Theatre" Pt.III
Review: Without taking up a lot of everyone's time and space (One can read my basic review under the first volume) I merely post this Advisory and WARNING!!: Do Not begin reading this Epic anywhere except at the Beginning!! Acquire the ENTIRE "Night's Dawn Trilogy" before you begin to avoid the frustrations that I did (and be glad that you won't have to wait for the final Triad to be published, as I was forced to do) Have the entire work ready on your bookshelf, and be prepared for one of the best and WILDEST experiences of your life!!!
