Early January in Nijmegen I browsed the second hand book shelves of the Dekker v.d. Vegt book store, when we visited the city for a day. I came across and bought The Nano Flower by Peter F. Hamilton, a 1995 novel.

At the time I did not realise it is the final part of a trilogy, and later realised I did not read the other two. Bought the other two back home as e-books online, Mindstar Rising from 1993, and A Quantum Murder from 1994. Read the first two e-books earlier in April, and the paper book during a brief spring holiday last week. All three are entertaining, set in a near future UK after the climate urgency has hit full-on. The final book builds on the previous two books, veering into first contact and more space oriented SF, than the other two.

Good fun.

Part 4 of 6. En route from the moon to Mars three storylines play out, one on Earth with a mysterious rogue statelet on the Isle of Man, one on board the transport to Mars and one on the rogue shuttle with a team of ‘exodenizens’ (virtual characters downloaded into autonomous stillsuits) on board who don’t realise they’re outside their simulation.
