Stealing Light, Nova Wars, Empire of Light, trilogy by
Gary Gibson (3.0)
Given how the first and second books of this trilogy end
(i.e. somewhat unresolved and mid-story), if you like these books at all you’ll
be compelled to read all three. I
recommend them to anyone who enjoys reading Sci-Fi adventures with the caveat
that the last book is the weakest. As
with most, the stories span multiple galaxies, have new alien races and
technologies, and the usual good vs bad – though it’s not always clear who is
which. Oddly, only a couple of
characters span all three books though the timeline is continuous. Typical of many Sci-Fi books the plot and
technology are relatively strong, but the characters are a bit weaker and
monochromatic particularly towards the end.
As opposed to growing and becoming more complex, the main characters
became quite predictable. I guess that’s why the few Sci-Fi books that do
contain memorable characters become classics.
