Synopsis

Mindstar Rising is the first in Peter F. Hamilton's hugely popular Greg Mandel series.

It's the 21st century and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too - the companies possess all the best hardware, and they're calling the shots now.

In a world like this, a man open to any offers can make out just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who's psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment, carrying state-of-the-art weaponry - and late of the English Army's Mindstar Battalion.

As the cartels battle for control of a revolutionary new power source, and corporate greed outstrips national security, tension is mounting to boiling point - and Greg Mandel is about to face the ultimate test.

Mindstar Rising is followed by A Quantum Murder and The Nano Flower to complete the Greg Mandel trilogy.

Media Reviews
Peter F. Hamilton manages a very neat trick, combining deft scientific and social speculations with the page-turning appeal of the best thrillers. --Tad Williams Mindstar Rising is more than a taut, suspenseful story--it's intellectually exciting as well, its future world full of surprises. --Poul Anderson An assured, effective debut from a writer to watch. -- Kirkus Reviews (pointer review)
