Author Peter F. Hamilton goes on tour, touting his new brick ... err, book. The next door-stop sized volume by the very good space opera author Peter F. Hamilton, 'Pandora's Star', is about to hit the streets in February '04.
The hardback version will be priced £17.99. The novel is set in the year 2329, where humanity has colonised four hundred planets linked by wormholes. Trouble comes when distant stars start winking out and a mission is sent to investigate.
