I started reading
Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton yesterday. This was fully nominated a couple times for the book club last year and caught my eye then. The length, at almost 1100 pages, is daunting and one of the reasons it wasn't selected but at 10% in it has been excellent. Murder mystery, governmental corruption and intrigue, and
a fight for the survival of humanity (well not that one at least yet.
) in an excellent nearish future world.
