Peter F Hamilton’s latest novel set in the Commonwealth universe (sci-fi meets murder-mystery).

(Set for release 27th Sept. 2012 at amazon.co.uk)

(UPDATE)

My copy is on its way to me from Amazon.co.uk. I look forward to reviewing it, but unfortunately I won’t have time to read it for at least 6 or 7 weeks, and by then I’ll also have Hydrogen Sonata as well. None-the-less, when the opportunity arrives, I look forward to nestling down and reading this (and Hydrogen Sonata). Amazingly, it cost me about half-price to buying it locally, including freight, and it’s a hardcover copy. Globalisation at its best.

Bringing the science into science fiction

Space warfare in science fiction is often analogous with naval warfare (image source: Wikimedia)

Michael Peck at Foreign Policy has a great interview with naval analyst Chris Weuve about space warfare. Chris talks about warfare operating mediums (physical environment) that different military machinery operate within and covers notions such as “history, hiding and hydrodynamics”, among other very intersting things. If you like your sci-fi television shows, movies or books, this interview is a must read!
