Science fiction readers know the feeling of staring at a massive tome, a book heavy enough to merit a warning from Human Resources, and wondering, "Is this story actually going to end?"
I just reread, essentially accidentally*, Peter Hamilton's "Judas Unchained", which comes in at a mere 1235 pages. It's the second part of a duology, and there's another trilogy and a singleton in the same universe.
Unfortunately my reaction on finishing was to wonder what Hamilton's written recently, so I was up until all hours with the first book in his Salvation trilogy.
*It fell off the shelf when I was looking for something else and I made the mistake of starting to read the page it fell open at.
Does the US government murder all the humans on some version of Earth for a second time?
Ah, yes, the book that made me theoretically hate Donald Rumsfeld even more than I already did IRL.
