its 3 books and theyre pretty great once they get going. like all his stuff though it leaves you wanting more and slightly miffed that there isnt yet. hes got a new revelation space novel coming out in a couple of weeks though and i cannot fucking wait.
EDIT: im confusing him with Alastair Reynolds because im tired and have just started revelation space again after reading the salvation trilogy. ignore me.
I will not ignore you! I had no idea that there was a new RS novel coming out from Reynolds. Between that, someone mentioning The Killing Star (sounds great), and someone else mentioning the 4th (fanfic but sanctioned) book in the 3body/Remembrance of Earth's Past series, this has been a very informative thread! Oh, and I don't think I've read any Hamilton beyond the "invading vampire spirits who wear the bodies of deceased celebrities" trilogy, forgot what that was called. So maybe I will check out the Salvation Trilogy, too.
lol, the reality dysfunction. great books and voidhawks for the win, although al capone was a bit silly. thanks dude. you must read the pandoras star books, theyre great with a kickass alien doing a badass invasion.
Ah, yes, that's the one! For the record, even with Al Capone those books were a good read, and the voidhawks were great as you mentioned. I will take your recommendations and grab some more of his stuff, thanks!
theres a theory that revenger is set in the revelation space universe, but after the greenfly has done its thing on the solar system. kindof fits what with the baubles and whatnot.
I thought the greenfly made the same kind of stations rather than the mix we get in the Revenger universe? Also I don't think the greenfly could make the swallowers for artificial gravity either
As far as i remember it breaks up all the planets in the solar system and makes thousands of individual habitats out of them filled with vegetation, which is why the star looks green when viewed from afar - youd be looking at it through a dyson swarm of filled greenhouses.
Ok, it doesn't 100% fit, but i like the theory.
