John Lusk reviewed Aurora Rising by Alastair Reynolds (Prefect Dreyfus Emergency, #1)
Slow start, strong finish
4 stars
I enjoyed the world-building, the plot progression, and the reveals about the characters.
It felt incredible to me that this book was written in 2007 but, in a way, feels like it could have been inspired by today's current events. The concept that people in positions of power could destroy the government and that the voting public might actually be ok with that just kind of rocked my head. Another aspect that made this book a little difficult to read, frankly.
