Fast paced action

I liked that it was a unique colony ship story including the nemesis and the heroine’s journey. YA appropriate.

Taking back the ship

Queens of an Alien Sun is the third installment in Peter F Hamilton's Arkship trilogy. A considerable portion of the arkship inhabitants have been moved to safer quarters. A small band, led by the captain's daughter, Hazel. With the help of the Daedalus AIs, the work out a plan to kill all the Yi, turn the Daedalus around and return to their new world. These plans involve work outside the spaceship and anti-matter bombs as well as tricky re-entry maneuver.

Hamilton provides satisfying closure to this intrepid band of youngsters. The action scenes are well executed as well as some last minute snafus requiring some above and beyond action.

The narration is well done with good character distinction and smooth, brisk pacing.

if ever you wanted to break out of your life and create a completely new one for yourself than this trilogy is for you.

reading this series it seems like there's not necessarily a lot going on that dot it's not full of intergalactic planetary interactions and all of that dot but don't be fooled because this trilogy is really a coming-of-age story. I don't feel like it was written for the ya audience I feel as though it's written for 30 year olds who want a different life for themselves than they've already built and they need to figure out how to break out of the structure that has congealed around them and push forward into creating a new world.

so that's what you want then this trilogy is a good one for that it's very subtle but it moves through the intricacies of how we doubt ourselves and how we make choices and what we do when we decide that the only way to save our own life is to do it.

it's beautiful and I totally recommend this trilogy.

WHAT a TRILOGY

It took time for Klatt's style to grow on me, but it did! I thoroughly enjoyed th8s trilogy from start to finish, as with all of P.F. Hamilton's work.

Electrifying performance

Great story uncomplicated with R-rated material or dialog. And Dr. Klett is a scintillating narrator!
