Summary
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.

Deep time
Perhaps Reynolds best most creative work. Looking very very far into a possible future. More fantastic than usual. But a few toes left touching ground (ie science.)

But weird but fab when it gets going
I really didn't like this at first as it jumped about, but once you understood why it made sense. Loved the narration and different voices. Galaxy wide storyline felt immersive and well thought through. I love Alistair Reynolds books and hope there is a second part to this.

Epic!
Blimey, I wasn't expecting that! What a fantastic, and unusual story. I'm now going to see what else has been written by this author, as this is my cup of tea.

Time well spent
This was a great sci-if story to listen to. I think I have enjoyed the author’s shorter works even more than the longer ones

A masterpiece spanning millions of years
Initially, I found this to be a little slow to start with, but having read/listened to most of his books, I knew it would keep building up, as the story progressed.
I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and recommend it wholeheartedly.

Finally someone as good as Iain M Banks
Where does House of Suns rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its up there.
What other book might you compare House of Suns to, and why?
Hard to say.
Which character – as performed by John Lee – was your favourite?
All pretty good
Any additional comments?
My fav all time Sci Fi writer is (sadly was) Iain M Banks, this is as good as his best.

An epic tale, told over eons, that just stops.
I loved the characters, the story, the pretext, everything. it builds and builds and builds.
And then stops.
nor sure if he hit his word count or decided to do a squeal right at the last minute but not the best ending every.

Nicely paced and captivating
The story follows well but with the narration it can get confusing when switching when switching characters in the Gentian Line. Worth a listen.
