    A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family - composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone "brothers" have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies. Or maybe not so friendly....

    Ethan M. says: "A modern master of epic SF does what he does best"
    "Another solid Hamilton"

    Would you listen to Great North Road again? Why?

    I have read many of Hamilton's books and am familiar with his slow start-up and build into the story approach he takes. Unfortunately the Great North Road "buries the lead" right near the end of the book. In a word, I got bored.

    If you are already a fan of Hamilton, go ahead and give this a listen - there are some very interesting ideas being played with here. If you are new to Hamilton try starting with Fallen Dragon or Pandora's Star.
