A clone has been the victim of a savage killing. The investigation may uncover a threat to humanity's very existence. Great North Road is a standalone adventure from science fiction star Peter F. Hamilton, the author of The Night's Dawn trilogy.
For fans of Philip K. Dick and Kim Stanley Robinson.
In Newcastle, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family’s clones, but the most disturbing aspect is how he died. Twenty years ago, a North clone billionaire and his household were slaughtered in the exact same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. The only member of the household left alive, Angela Tramelo, received the blame. Was Angela wrongly convicted back then? She’d never wavered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack.
With St Libran bio-fuel now powering Earth's economy, investigating this alien threat becomes top priority. A vast expedition is mounted via the planet’s Newcastle gateway – including Angela Tramelo, grudgingly released from prison. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra's rainforests. Then the bloodshed begins . . .

Fantastisk historia med många trådar som vävs ihop till en tät väv. Mer deckare än SiFi. Rekommenderas

Mycket spännande med flera olika parallella händelser som sys ihop allteftersom berättelsen går mot finalen. Bra inläsare också.

Har aldrig tidigare fastnat för Hamiltons böcker men den här fångade mig. Underbart att få grotta ner sig i 36 timmar scifi-deckare

Bra tidsfördriv men inte så särskilt bra

Fantastic accents by the reader! It's very much a Hamilton book, always worth to read. Loved the new tech and the twist at the end. If I am to find anything negative about the story it was as if the ending got rushed in there. It was complete and all loose ends were followed up on, but it felt a little rushed.
