### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Another playful, erudite novel
  

*by R***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2022*

One of the joys of this author is that he is decidedly not of the 'business as usual' camp of future prognosticators. He's moved on from practically all past political paradigms and enjoys tweaking their noses in passing, much to my delight. Another, personal, joy is that he writes about places that I know intimately, ranging from the towns adjoining the Clyde through to shipyards, all viewed through the eye of a wry futurist. Ken Macleod takes as many traditional SF memes as one might imagine and reimagines them - his space opera is never old-fashioned gun-turret stuff but is always far more calculated and witty. He isn't a hard read and doesn't make life difficult for his readers but at the same time doesn't take them for granted but slyly challenges them at every turn. I should add that in terms of the science of his SF he's always entirely coherent and sensible and demands little in the way of brainless credulity from his readers - even his hand-waving and unobtainium is deliciously plausible!

    Gripping beginning
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2022*

Pulled me into the story and never let me go.  The science is believable ish and the plot maintains a steady pace.  Good read bring on part two

    Half a book
  

*by A***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2022*

A series of books is fine, but each needs to have its own denouement, even if this leaves unanswered questions.  This first instalment of a near future sci-fi series just stops leaving you with the feeling that an arbitrary chop has been taken to a bigger book.As works of sci-fi goes it’s ok, but not as innovative or well written as the likes of Iain M Banks, a close contemporary. The near future politics will no doubt grate for some.  Scottish Nationalism looms large.  This contrivance gets in the way and feels shoe-horned in to a 3 ways political block that could have been more interesting.In terms of premise and concept the book builds nicely and sets up a lot more to come, but without really any great reveals.  There’s enough hook here to bring the reader back, and hopefully later books will start to get into more than the superficial character development in book 1.
