I have read the frist half of the Nights Dawn trilogy, the first book was great loved it especially that Joshua Calvert kid, but it seems to take a mighty nose dive around about 100 pages into the second book, I could never manage to stick it out and finish it.

- Peter F Hamilton, Mindstar Rising

I can't bring myself to attempt any of his post-Mindstar trilogy work. I don't want to drown in purple paint. A real mix in terms of both content and writing style...
