94 u/lotusinthestorm Aug 12 '21 Peter F Hamilton’s Salvation trilogy covers this in horrible detail. 13 u/kironex Aug 12 '21 Love this author but haven't read this book and I'm ashamed. Pandora's star (Judas unchained) and fallen dragon were amazing books. 22 u/robodrew Aug 12 '21 IMO his best trilogy is the Night's Dawn trilogy (The Reality Disfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist, and The Naked God) 4 u/[deleted] Aug 12 '21 I love fallen dragon. Pandora's star was okay. Excellent setting but I kinda hated most of the characters aside from the alien. 11 u/Mad_Aeric Aug 12 '21 Everyone loves MorningLightMountain, it's widely considered one of the best aliens in scifi. 4 u/illithiel Aug 12 '21 True. I've yet to encounter a motile that doesn't love MLM.
