Finished reading "Exodus" by Peter F Hamilton

Actually pretty good. Starts glacially slow even by Hamilton's sprawling standards but when things come together they come together hard. Any queer folk reading this, there will be one specific point you just *howl*.

The opening is a weird infodump that feels less like Hamilton and more like you're reading a summary of a pen & paper roleplaying game. This is explained on the book's final page: an ad for the roleplaying game this ties in with. Oh.

@mcc Next book: "I dunno, the prose of this one feels, kinda like a doom mapset? Does that even make sense to anyone?"

*gets to the last page, finds a little clear pouch with a floppy disk* Oh.
