Judas Unchained (7.5/10)

Peter Hamilton
Science Fiction

After the excitement and scope of Pandora’s Star this was a little bit of a let down. The book was not too bad, but did little to expand upon the wondrous scope exposed in the first novel. Ozzie’s journey to the Silfen is almost completely pointless and rather unjustifiable. The major characters engage in a huge battle with the Primes, killing millions and in the end little is resolved. All good Space Operey stuff, but perhaps could have used some tighter editing.

Upon reflection this is much tighter that his last series (“Night’s Dawn”) and so I suppose we can view that as progress.
