Book Review: Peter Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star

A space opera of epic proportions by the UK’s #1 sci-fi author Peter F. Hamilton. Pandora’s Star is the first of two books in the Commonwealth Saga, which is set in the Commonwealth Universe. At this time period, humanity has spread in over 600 planets in the Milky Way Galaxy and has grown complacent because of the lack of encounters.

This is my review of Hamilton’s book, a book with plenty of characters with independent stories inter-woven together by events they can not avoid, the opening of Pandora’s Star. Read it here.

Review: ‘The A-Team’

"The characters in "The A-Team" are in possession of esoteric knowledge: They know what's going on in the movie. To each other, they talk about various people and situations, and we just sit patiently, accepting that they know what they're doing, that it will all work out for the best. Kind of like...
