Save:'Fallen Dragon' by Peter F. Hamilton is a science fiction novel set in a future where mega corporations control the galaxy and engage in 'asset realisation' missions, seen as robbery by the colonies. The story follows Lawrence Newton, a disillusioned interstellar mercenary, and Denise Ebourn, a schoolteacher involved in a resistance movement on the planet Thallspring. As the plot unfolds, it alternates between Newton's past as a corporate prince and his present as a corporate soldier, and Ebourn's tales for her students about a long-dead empire. The book explores themes of space exploration, colonization, economic constraints, and the influence of science fiction on the future, all while presenting clear and exciting combat sequences and technological skullduggery.
