This story was so thrilling to read, following the outbreak of a deadly epidemic spiraling out of control and wreaking havoc across the solar system. I had to find out what happened!
I love books with a big cast of characters, so that was one aspect that immediately had me hooked, but also the way their destinies are bound together by this mystery. If you like fast-paced stories with strikingly real characters, Cluster is for you!
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. It is a good blend of genres - science fiction, spy, and thriller with a touch of zombies. The first half was a little difficult for me because the narrative kept hopping from place to place and time to time. I had a hard time keeping the characters straight. By the second half, I had no problems and was totally engrossed in the plot. This novel was a good read that I recommend.
KÖKI Terminál Könyvesbolt Izgalmas, több szálon futó cselekménnyel, jól megalkotott karakterekkel, hihetően kidolgozott történelmi háttérrel ez a könyv az utóbbi évek egyik legjobb sci-fi regénye.
Horvath Henrik Az érdekes világ, a végig fenntartott feszültség remek estét szerez az olvasónak. Azért csak egy estét, mert úgyis egy ültő helyedben elolvasod, annyira jó!!
Csontos Sándor Nekem nagyon nagy meglepetés volt a könyv, mivel nem a scifi műfaj a kedvencem, ennek ellenére ez a könyv, az első sorától az utolsóig lekötött.Nagyon jó a történet, pörög a cselekmény, mindamellett rengeteg tudásanyaggal van megspékelve. Nálam a könyv elérte, a "letehetetlen" olvasnivaló minősítést. Úgy hogy nálam a minőségi és olvasható könyv kategória egyenlő lett, Stephen Paul Thomassal.
