John Lee
Not only are Campion and Purslane late for their 30-second reunion but they have also brought along an amnesiac golden robot for a guest. But the wayward shatterlings get more than the scolding they expect: they face the discovery that someone has a very serious grudge against the Gentian line, and there is a very real possibility of traitors in their midst. The surviving shatterlings have to dodge exotic weapons while they regroup to try to solve the mystery of who is persecuting them and why---before their ancient line is wiped out of existence forever.

An interesting story

I wish I'd listened many moons ago. I was dubious about the shatterling premise, but it, and the rest of the story, worked marvelously..
Unexpectedly great

Would you listen to House of Suns again? Why?
Yes. Excellent story, very well written and terrific narrator.What other book might you compare House of Suns to and why?
A science fiction original. The story border lines science fiction fantasy, but for the fact that is believable coming across as plausible, and that it is very well written, it does not. It remains science fiction in its truest and most literary form.Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First. Really enjoyed listening to him, even though at least in this book, he does not make too much of an effort to change the voices of his characters. He has a limited repertoire in that sense, about three or four voices, but it does not matter to me at all.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Too long to do that. Intense enough at points, I needed a break. But couldn't wait to get back to it when I could.Any additional comments?
Very happy to have discovered Alistair Reynolds. I'll be buying print copies of some of his books as well.Fascinating and original science fiction

Any additional comments?
I truly enjoyed this book. I really liked the fact that for a long while at the beginning of the book I didn't know what was going on and still found that I enjoyed the story and narrative.The universe the author creates is interesting and the flashbacks help bring the story into focus over time. Others have complained that there is not enough action in the story - and I admit after I was done with the book - I looked back and realized the same thing. But I still really enjoyed the read ... and getting lost in this world was fun. This was my first book by Reynolds - but will most likely not be my last. The is some hard profanity in this book although lightly used most of the time ( I estimate there were maybe 2 dozen F-Words in and 18 hour book )As for the Narrator, he does an excellent job on this book - and that may have contributed to how much I enjoyed listening to it.Enjoyable hard Sci-Fi novel.
