The Neutronium Alchemist 1: Consolidation (Night's Dawn #2, Part 1 of 2)
Peter Hamilton is to science-fiction what the Marquis de Sade is to erotism: thousands of pages, hundreds of cartoonish characters (reduced to toys playing the situations), repetitive situations ad nauseam (but always described with a luxury of pointless details).
It's really incredible how Mr Hamilton is able to slather thousands of pages with his insipid prose. He's never tired of describing pointless situations involving bland characters, with never a single interesting idea emerging of this ocean of pseudo literary diarrhea.
3rd of 6 books...think I might have this confused...but it is a classic piece of space opera, spanning 6 500+ page books--as issued in US mass market. Still reading!!
This book put PH on my short list of authors to never bother with again.
I couldn't really get into this book, unfortunately. I will have to try this book again at another time.
Spectacular writing, and loved the existential dilemna, which is fully realised in this second installment of Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy. Can't wait to read the rest and find out how the author resolved it. I'd recommend this series for all sci-fi fans.
Die erste Hälfte von The Neutronium Alchemist' ist bisher leider das schwächste Buch des Armageddon-Zyklus. Das liegt vor allem an zwei Dingen: zum einen sind einige Handlungsstränge die ganze Al-Capone-Geschichte und Teile von Norfolk insbesondere ungefähr so glaubwürdig wie eine durchschnittliche Telenovela, zum anderen lässt die psychologische Tiefe recht vieler Charaktere insbesondere in diesen beiden Episoden doch arg zu wünschen übrig. Andere Sachen funktionieren aber deutlicher besser
Přesně ten typ SF, který mám rád :-)
