Commentary Conducive To Books The Neutronium Alchemist (Night's Dawn #2)
Not every fallen angel comes from heaven... The ancient menace has finally escaped from Lalonde, shattering the Confederation's peaceful existence. Those who succumbed to it have acquired godlike powers, but now follow a far from divine gospel as they advance inexorably from world to world. On planets and asteroids, individuals battle for survival against the strange and brutal forces unleashed upon the universe. Governments teeter on the brink of anarchy, the Conferderation Navy is dangerously over-stretched, and a dark messiah prepares to invoke his own version of the final Night. In such desperate times the last thing the galaxy needs is a new and terrifyingly powerful weapon. Yet Dr Alkad Mzu is determined to retrieve the Alchemist - so she can complete her thirty-year vendetta to slay a star. Which means Joshua Calvert has to find Dr. Mzu and bring her back before the alchemist can be reactivated. But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday device.Identify Books Concering The Neutronium Alchemist (Night's Dawn #2)

I hoped the story (continued from Reality Dysfunction) would improve, since I enjoyed both the Commonwealth Saga and the Void Saga. But the characters of this story I either dislike or don't care about, and the plot is page after page of rape and torture. I may be a thousand or so pages into this saga, but it is just not worth continuing.I only finished this book because I took it on a s personal challenge having invested 1500+ pages into the series. I'm willing to put up with the extremely slow world building of book 1 if it pays off in books 2 and 3, but based on 2 I doubt that the conclusion will be satisfying. This book is a very slog. It's way too much soap opera. I started reading Hamilton with the Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained followed by The Void trilogy. If I had started with the Night's Dawn I doubt I'd have stuck
This is book 2 of a trilogy (or books 3-4 of a hexology if you buy the paperbacks) and it continues the space opera starting with The Reality Dysfunction. I'm torn between giving it 2 stars or 3, because it was entertaining enough to keep reading, and I want to see what happens in the end, but wow this thing drags on. The book provides a handy "cast of characters" detailing exactly 150 names from the last book that you'll need to remember for this book. Call me simple, but I feel like the author
An epic space opera about the here and the hereafter and what happens when souls from the hereafter (called the beyond in the book) come back and possess the bodies of the living.The Kavanagh sisters, Louise and Genevieve, know they have to leave Norfolk after they narrowly miss being possessed like the rest of their family. With the help of Fletcher Christian (of Mutiny on the Bounty infamy) they do eventually get off the planet.In New California most of the 40 million inhabitants are possessed
There is more to death than the beyond. The dead are back and theyre pissed off. Book 2 of Peter F. Hamiltons shelf-breaking Nights Dawn trilogy and it must count for something that after 2,000 pages I am already itching for more. Alchemist delivers on all the juicy ideas of The Reality Dysfunction, seeds tantalising new elements no doubt to be pursued in Book 3 and serves up huge wodges of crazy-mad SF action to boot. This is SF as pure Saturday night entertainment written by a writer who can
I really wanted to like this after the fantastic first book, equal parts horror and sci-fi. Yet, this 2nd part was pretty ridiculous. Al Capone coming back from the dead was quite a stupid idea I thought, and the bulk of the book was "run away from possessed, reach new planet, possessed catch up, run away from possessed" etc etc...And yet, the pure terror of the threat that you felt in the first book is completely nullified in this book, as the humans enter negotiations with the possessed, as
No, your eyes are not deceiving you: I gave this mammoth of a book 5 stars. Yes, I think my rating is entirely justified. Details follow.There is absolutely nothing I can say that would not be a spoiler at this point; even if I mention a character it means the person in question survived the events of the first book - yet another spoiler. Anyhow all of the interesting people left alive at the end of Reality Dysfunction are back with the vengeance; no exception. Even some occasional people one
