About this listen

Read by Peter Kenny, award-winning narrator of the Culture series by Iain M. Banks.

Following Mindstar Rising and A Quantum Murder, The Nano Flower is the final book in Peter F. Hamilton's Greg Mandel trilogy – a riveting science-fictional detective story.

For fifteen years she has been the power behind England's economic renaissance. But this won’t help her now. Julia Evans, billionaire owner of Event Horizon, is in trouble.

Her husband is missing. Rival companies claim to have acquired an incredible new technology – something impossibly superior to what has come before. So she has no time to notice a single flower, delivered anonymously. But this flower possesses genetic information millions of years in advance of any terrestrial DNA.

Is it a cryptic alien message, or a poignant farewell token from her husband? One man is on the case to discover its origins: psi-boosted private detective Greg Mandel. But he won’t be alone in this desperate search. And, as Greg and Julia discover, being first in the race won’t be enough – not when the Nano Flower starts to bloom . . .

Read by the great Peter Kenny! I hope he records more by this author!

Superb story across the three books and the short story . Nuanced characters and written in the 1990s prophetic of today’s politics and the power of big business to make government less relevant. Sadly the global heating catastrophe will happen and these books explore one plausible aftermath.

Great story with many angles
