Nova War
Before I even launch into this review I have one word: Emissary.Imagine an alien race that is half Cthulhu, half Mammoth and all bad attitude. If that doesn’t inspire you to read Nova War I’m afraid nothing will.What a fun book! Filled with violence and sense-of-wonder, the second novel in the Shoal trilogy takes the story waaay beyond the events of Stealing Light. As far as hard Space Opera is concerned, this is turning into a biggie, even though it retains an intimate flavour (despite the vast scope of the novel, it centres on only a few main characters). Again, I liked the review by Neal Asher. Who am I to question his authority on this kind of thing? After the surprise reveals and upheavals of Nova War, the story is set to conclude in spectacular fashion in Empire of Light. Highly recommended.
