Took your advise and am starting on this - a kindle would be easier to handle but somehow just love holding a book.
Hope you like it.

His style gets on my tits at times but it is enjoyable. I like his description of the crater fashioned after Edinburgh with the a Castle at the centre and Princes Circle as the high street along the crater rim.
imho

Peter F. Hamilton - Judas Unchained - Commonwealth Saga 2 (Kindle Edition)

I read "Pandora's Star - Commonwealth Saga 1" some time ago. About time to dive into the second, and enormously big, volume of this fantastic sci-fi universe.
I'm a big fan of Peter F Hamilton. Must try and get a copy.

winner that I am.

I've already got this book but it has a different cover. :roll:

I know what you mean about his style. He does get a little wordy at times. Used to get the same thing with Tolkien. Overall I find his books rewarding.

Did start reading this week the serie Mastermagician from W.J.Maryson.
Don't know if it is also in English, but it is a great one, you can compare it with Feist. Unfortunately he died two months ago.

Started reading a book last week and just couldn't get my head around it at all. Nothing seemed to make sense. Turns out it's book 11 in a 12 part set. Nothing on the cover to say this.
