The Night's Dawn Trilogy draws to its conclusion

[slowfox]

I'm realising that whilst my recollections of instalments I and II of Peter F Hamilton's Night's Dawn were pretty good, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off-base with Book III. There's so much that I have absolutely no recollection of I'm beginning to wonder if I actually did read the thing the first time around.

Well, no, I'm not, because I distinctly remember my total Ione/Tranquility!love for their escape, and I remember the machinations of B7 back on Earth and that stuff. But the bit where Joshua's negotiating with the zero-g seahorses had completely slipped my mind.

Still enjoying it, but these are thick books, so a proper review will have to wait a little while longer.

In other book news, I caved, and the hardback Sookie, Dead and Gone arrived in today's post. Guess I'm reading that next :D

You're intending to finish The Naked God before starting Sookie? You have more control than me, I'd be straight into the new canon.

... zero-g seahorses ... you do have to admire Hamilton's imagination.

you do have to admire Hamilton's imagination.

Indeed so - any mind that can conceive Tranquility, the voidhawks and the whole plot of Pandora's Star deserves recognition.

But yes, despite Sookie arriving yesterday, I've not opened her up just yet. That's tomorrow's pleasure... I'm not expecting the book to detain me for long, mind...
