Mindstar Risingis the first in Peter F. Hamilton’s hugely popular Greg Mandel series.

It’s the 21st century and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too the companies possess all the best hardware, and they’re calling the shots now.

In a world like this, a man open to any offers can do just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who’s psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment and carrying state-of-the-art weaponry. He’s also been part of the English Army’s Mindstar Battalion.

As the cartels battle for control of a revolutionary new power source, and corporate greed outstrips national security, tension is mounting to boiling point. And Greg Mandel is about to face the ultimate test.

Mindstar Risingis followed byA Quantum MurderandThe Nano Flowerto complete the Greg Mandel trilogy.
