Our view

“The Nano Flower” closes Hamilton’s Greg Mandel trilogy of science-fiction detective stories, bringing aliens and a disappearance into the frame. At over six hundred pages, it is a substantial read. Some readers rate it clearly above the first two books and see in it early forms of ideas Hamilton develops in later work. Read the earlier volumes first.
