5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent sequel to a execellent novel, 17 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is the sequel to "The Reality Dysfunction" and now I've read it I can say its just as good. The story jumps straight into the midst of the action, and grips you by the throat right from the first page. Best of all is the way the author builds on the personality of the characters, making them more real, with their own lives and backgrounds. You can see each of them develop and change throughout the story, giving it an extra dimension, making you really care about the characters themselves. There are new elements introduced into the storyline as well, none of which I'm going to discuss here - you'll have to find out about these yourself. All I can say is that together they make this book an excellent sequel to the first, adding to the story not "cashing in" on the success of the first as so many sequels do. My advice is Buy it!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a little overlong..., 24 Nov 2003
By Simon (Bristol, C&C of Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The Nutronium Alchemist follows directly on from The Reality Dysfunction and up’s the pace, introducing more characters and sub-plots that keep you glued to each page.
Joshua Calvert comes into his own, his jolly British witticisms are a breath of fresh air – no more American SF speak here at all - especially when he swears! It sounds like being in my local!

I found this instalment somewhat overlong. The whole story could have worked well at half the length. Though I suppose Hamilton wanted to keep the bulk of the novel in keeping with the blockbuster idea he started with TRD. The was no need for this to be so fat a novel and although well written it went on and on and…

The ideas behind TNA are sound and the science bits are intriguing to say the least. The characters run around and do their thing with zest and inventiveness that keeps the novel afloat, but why so long?
A good bit of editing is needed here…

4.0 out of 5 stars How can you sequel?, 16 Aug 2002
A wicked follow up to the first book. Any other author would have milked this series for a lifetimes career of books but this man did it in three volumes. Follow the character build up and read the third part for a superb climax. A starship captain & two pregnant women, sounds like a nightmare but Joshua and the women are (almost) happy with it. If you've got this far you must read the 'The Naked God' if only because you've the patience and like this sort of book that much. If the first book wasn't to your taste forget it. The finale won't live up to whatever your expcting, but if the first book caught your imagination read this.
