Product Description

Product Description

In the far future, humanity has engineered itself into new forms and it seems there is no environment we cannot conquer. But when an interstellar voyager collides with a piece of alien technology, the results show that our own technology is not the first nor the most advanced of its kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good!, 8 Sep 2003
This review is from: Natural History (Hardcover)
I loved this book. It was a bit confusing in the start because it's a very different world you are presented, but after three chapters it starts to be hard to stop reading. Hell, I think I want to become Forged...
Maybe the plot is nor that intricate as other big SF books, but it has one BIG prize: in my opinion this book is a vision of the future of SF, in the technological sense. The autor remainds me Neal Asher in this point, the developments are somehow alike.
The edition (hardback) is also marvelous, the letters are good and the paper feels great. I think it's a book to keep for years and years to come.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expecting something different, 8 Nov 2009
This review is from: Natural History (Paperback)
I'm sorry to say that I really didn't like this book. I don't think there's anything actually wrong with the book, in fact I suspect it's probably quite good, but I just couldn't get into it. I couldn't keep track of the plot or the characters and just didn't find it particularly engaging. I was expecting something different given the title and cover and never really caught up with what the book was actually about. By 2/3 through I'd pretty much given up and was just reading in a desperate attempt to get to the end. I've heard some glowing reviews of the book, but it just wasn't to my taste.
