The Final Fall of Man #2
Drednanth
It began as a simple rescue operation.
Then Thord, a seven-million-year-old immortal telepathic yeti, joined the crew.
After that it was still a rescue operation, but it all started getting a bit weird.
"Drednanth" is the story of the Astro Tramp 400 and her intrepid and slightly-battered crew, as they cross the galaxy in order to throw some of their passengers off the edge of it. In the process, they hope to discover more about the alien menace apparently bent on destroying their civilisation out from under them, survive the vengeful attentions of a school of highly-intelligent cybernetic sharks, and maybe even find out what the heck they're all doing in space in the first place.
They have a lot to learn. But what else is new?

this book has space sharks. space sharks! you show me one other book with space sharks in it. come on. just one. there aren't any! what's the craziest thing about having a book with space sharks in it is how the author manages to avoid spinning this theme out of control to the point of parody or absurdism.
the tone of the novels cleverly and meticulously continues to preserve the understated humour of the first, reminding me so much of 'red dwarf' if it had sex with 'the thick of it' while sending dick pics to iain banks.
amazing.

The first in the series was brilliant with humour and current events slowly disclosing the background.
This, the second book, was very different. The humour was missing from the content as well as the style of writing and the first 100 pages or so were mainly exposition. There was little action and what little there was, was passive having happened to others or elsewhere. Later in the book, the humour did re-appear in a chapter featuring my favourite character Gromulus but only briefly.
The science fiction descriptions of the journeys and places was first class and the intrigues did warm up toward the end.
(I would have liked a Table of Contents and for each book in the series to be numbered.)

The Plot Continues
It's the constant amusement, of the occasional guffaw variety, that makes Hindle so habit forming. Even after three? readings I still don't remember what comes next!
