Hamilton." --- Charlie Stross "If you like science fiction with great characters and set in real space, you'll enjoy this one." --- Jo Walton, author of Farthing

Great Book
I read a lot of sci fi and have come to realize how tough it can be to find stories that are as well told and they are interesting. If you're a fan of the Expanse series then give this a shot. If not, then consider becoming one:)Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
