Amahle is a Light Chaser - one of a number of explorers, who travel the universe alone (except for their onboard AI), trading trinkets for life stories.

But when she listens to the stories sent down through the ages she hears the same voice talking directly to her from different times and on different worlds. She comes to understand that something terrible is happening, and only she is in a position to do anything about it.

And it will cost everything to put it right.

Review of 'Light Chaser' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Novela cortita de SciFi de la buena, con tiempo para presentar varios planetas completamente distintos (aunque solo sea de pasada). La trama me ha parecido muy interesante, aunque no creo que tenga capacidad para alargarse más de lo que tiene ya, con lo que hay ya puedes entender a los antagonistas y empatizar con la protagonista, y hasta conocer secundarios bien esbozados.

Amahle travels the galaxy in an endless circuit, visiting the same works over and over again. Until she meets a boy who shares a puzzling and disturbing bit of news.

The first chapter was tough going. It was just a walk off inscrutable text: looooooooong sentences and longer paragraphs. I nearly put the book down — but I’m really glad I didn’t.

I’ve not read any Peter Hamilton, but I know that what Gareth Powell excels at is creating compelling characters. And that’s on display here.
