Series: Commonwealth Saga #1 It is finally over! Alright, I probably shouldn't sound so relieved when I've already started listening to its sequel, which is even longer. This book is flawed in several ways but I still found it interesting and want to see where we go in the sequel. Basically, t...

Really long, but addictive. Don't judge this book by the cover, as you'd be disappointed if you chose to read this because of it.

Why did it take so long for everything to get going? I like the characters, I like the subplots, I like the expansive world...but I was waiting on edge for them all to weave together.

Epic. Part mystery, part science fiction, part detective story, and part adventure story, the only word to describe Pandora's Star is epic. Perhaps not in quality as it is in scale, time, and characters. At over a 1,000 pages this is a long book, and one with a whole cast of characters, two pages in...

This book is fat!That was my first thought upon picking up this book. Still with all the recommendations I have been getting from the good people at Reddit's science fiction books community ("r/Print SF") and other reviews I wanted to give it a go.

I must say - it's a first class sci-fi novel. Vastly complex in it's approach to the society of the future, very intruguing in its description of what may happen. A Star Gate novel - only so much better then the TV series/movie could ever be! Plus: aliens that are truly and genuinely ALIEN!
