The nano flower by Peter F Hamilton (1998)

The Greg Mandel trilogy evolves well, beginning with a grounded, telepathic detective narrative and expanding into this ambitious conclusion. The Nano Flower is a nice finale that introduces a fun, enigmatic space alien mystery trope, thrilling ruthless oligarch conflicts, and deep political intrigues. Returning to this well-developed and familiar group of characters and super villains made the reading experience even more satisfying. I enjoyed the way the series grew in scale while maintaining its sense of "golden age" escapism and great world building. Because the trilogy successfully bridges the gap between near-future noir and grand-scale mystery, this final installment earns 5/5 Stars.
