Wormhole by Eric Brown and Keith Brooke involves an 80-year-old murder case in which the main suspect, the victim’s wife, is believed to have died on humanity’s first interstellar mission. But when it is discovered that the starship has arrived at its destination and established a wormhole connection with the solar system that makes interstellar travel almost instantaneous, a weary London detective is sent through the wormhole to question the wife. Characters are a bit clichéd but nicely individualized. The plot has the twists one expects, and there is action in both star systems. Fun. 4 stars. Wormhole is a unique mash up of police procedural and hard sci fi. Cold case detective Gordon Kemp is assigned to investigate an 80-year-old mystery that leads him through wormholes, far worlds, and scientific exploration to find out what happened. Though at times I felt some plot items could have been elaborated on a bit more, this was a fun and entertaining read. Really hoping this author duo writes more in the future! Thank you to NetGalley for a chance to read and review this book! #Angryrobot #Wormhole Wormhole just maybe one of the best science fiction books I’ve read in a good while. A phenomenal melding of SF, crime, and politics, it made for one unforgettable read. Gordon Kemp is a tired and frustrated detective in a future London, transferred from Homicide to work cold cases. He’s inextricably assigned to an eighty year old murder case, and is told to travel via a newly established wormhole and arrest Rima, who’s suspected of killing her husband just prior to leaving on a colony ship for a. new planet. Of course, all is not as it seems, and what follows is an entertaining and crazy adventure, full of twists and turns and surprises. The world building of Wormhole was excellent. The characters are all well developed and the writing is outstanding. For a book that’s jointly written by two authors, the writing styles were seamless. I just loved this book, and can’t recommend it enough! My thanks to Angry Robot and to Netgalley for providing an ARC of this fabulous novel. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:An eighty year old cold case murder investigation that stretches across light years and risks the future of mankindâ??s new home. A hard SF/crime crossover from two respected and well-likednames in SF. â??- 2110. Earth is suffering major resource shortages, and the impact of climate change is peaking, with much of the planetâ??s equatorial regions turned to lifeless desert and populations displaced. Colonies have been established on Mars and the Moon, but these cannot hope to sustain any more than a scant population of hundreds of citizens. Attention has turned to the need to discover an extra-solar colony world. European scientists, using discoveries made at CERN, have identified the means of creating a wormhole in the space-time continuum, which would allow interstellar travel. However, to do so they must first physically transport one end of the wormhole to where they want it to be, so settingup a wormhole will always rely on physical travel first of all. A ship is sent to Mu Arae, earth-like planet discovered 10 years before. It is a journey that will take 80 years, the crew, who will eventually set up the wormhole on the planet, kept in suspended animation. But only a few years into the trip, catastrophe strikes and the ship blows up en route, killing all aboard. 2190, eighty years after the starship set out. Gordon Kemp is a detective working in the cold case department in London. Usually he works on cases closed ten, twenty-five years earlier. Now, however, he has been assigned a murder investigation closed, unsolved, over eighty years ago. What he unearths will change history and threatens everything we know about what the powers that be have planned for Earth. The tragedy that befell the ship 80 years before is not what it seems and the past and the present are radically different to what everyone on Earth believes. We made the journey. Why has it been kept a secret? File Under: Science Fiction [ Who wants to live forever? | Old caps | New Worlds | Believe No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I don’t know about you, but I’m always annoyed by police detectives in SF novels who don’t behave at all like police detectives in real life. Anyway. Twin narratives of detective solving decades-old future crime and alien contact from Earth’s first colony ship, plus corruption and murder in high places. Kept me reading to the end, but it’s not very subtle. And did I mention that I found the police bit unrealistic? ( )
