This is the discussion topic for the April Group Read of Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton



Deploying invulnerable twenty-fifth-century soldiers called Skins, Zantiu-Braun's corporate starships loot entire planets. But as the Skins invade bucolic Thallspring, Z-B's strategy is about to go awry, all because of: Sgt. Lawrence Newton, a dreamer whose twenty years as a Skin have destroyed his hopes and desires; Denise Ebourn, a school teacher and resistance leader whose guerrilla tactics rival those of Che Guevara and George Washington and Simon Roderick, the director who serves Z-B with a dedication that not even he himself can understand. Grimly determined to steal, or protect, a mysterious treasure, the three players engage in a private war that will explode into unimaginable quests for personal grace...or galactic domination.

Last night I started scanning the book, tonight I'll have a more serious approach. Hopefully finishing a couple of chapters.

Do you have it on kindle? I can't find it

Ongoing! I've been a bit confused about some acronyms in the beginning, (not anymore) but the world building is quite nice. It starts at a very slow pace, taking us back into Lawrence Newton's past and his journey on how he became to be who he is.

I like it.
