Audible.com release day: Peter F. Hamilton's 1993 debut novel Mindstar Rising
Posted on 2011-12-01 at 20:42 by Sam
Mindstar Rising is the 1993 first novel from prolific British author Hamilton, whose 10 books have sold more than 2 million copies. “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.”
