Das Buch hat mich genau so gefesselt wie die Serie. Auch wenn hier so 3er oder 4er Bewertungen stehen, für mich ist das Buch ein neues Universum und mit ganz neuen Bereichen, wie sich die Menschheit ausgebreitet hat und doch nicht von seinen alten Lastern loskommt, anderen ihren Willen aufzudrücken. Allein sich das Universum so auszudenken, mit der dreier Konstellation ist schon ganz gut
For me, this was a frontier western story in space, and I was not sure why I should be interested. It made me question the whole premise of 'humanity conquers the solar system/universe' science fiction. Why would humanity settle Mars and the Asteroid Belt to begin with, and why would society change so little in that process?
If you like mystery, violence, horror and want it set in space, this might just be your thing; it did not appeal to me.
A compelling space opera with hits of noir, thriller, and horror. Very CIShet for what I normally read, but really good. Fastest I've finished a book of this size in ages.
