Representaion Supposing Books The Neutronium Alchemist 1: Consolidation (Night's Dawn #2, Part 1 of 2)
0 star (rounded to 1 for unfortunate technical reasons). Peter Hamilton is to science-fiction what the Marquis de Sade is to erotism: thousands of pages, hundreds of cartoonish characters (reduced to toys playing the situations), repetitive situations ad nauseam (but always described with a luxury of pointless details). It's really incredible how Mr Hamilton is able to slather thousands of pages with his insipid prose. He's never tired of describing pointless situations involving bland characters, with never a single interesting idea emerging of this ocean of pseudo literary diarrhea.

Love this stuff.At first, I did not like this book. It felt weird - not hard-core SF, not horror, it was hard to define.It ended up going into action/adventure category. SF is only the background. Lots of ideas, maybe too many, but then the ideas are not the focus here. The plot is.The writing is solid, nothing to complain about. The plot is twisted, lots of sub plots, only half-way the future convergence starts to congeal. It ends kind of without an ending. This is part of a series, so now I am forced to read
3rd of 6 books...think I might have this confused...but it is a classic piece of space opera, spanning 6 500+ page books--as issued in US mass market. Still reading!!
So it is the 27th century and dead people are possessing the bodies of people through cruel and brutal mental and physical torture. At this point a few of them are coming to prominence such as a non-dead Satanic cult leader that is so disturbingly inhuman that he repressed the soul possessing him and mastered its dark powers, Al Capone is no in charge of a planet and an army of possessed flunkies, A lucky star ship captain is trying to stop a woman who has the most dangerous weapon humanity has
I couldn't really get into this book, unfortunately. I will have to try this book again at another time.
I am so done with unnecessary sexual violence in my escapist literature. Discarded during the second attempted rape. I am so sick of this lazy writing mechanism in sci fi that I would otherwise love.
Spectacular writing, and loved the existential dilemna, which is fully realised in this second installment of Hamilton's Night's Dawn Trilogy. Can't wait to read the rest and find out how the author resolved it. I'd recommend this series for all sci-fi fans.
