Our view
At over eight hundred pages, “Fallen Dragon” is a Hamilton space adventure that moves faster than its length suggests. The mercenary Lawrence Newton sets out after a treasure and finds something far more important. Some readers find the characters less memorable than Hamilton’s others, and others note that the women seem to exist mainly to desire the hero. His familiar interests are all here, from mighty corporations to transhuman technology.
