Allen Steele : Arkwright before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Arkwright:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic vision, great story, some slight flaws.By LiamI loved this book. A great read, engaging and fascinating, this book exemplifies superb writing. The concepts of the story and the realism (for the most part) of the science are huge strong points for the book. Of the four parts I found the first two much stronger and more compelling than the last two. The story took a different approach in the latter half ndash; perhaps intentionally ndash; however it did feel as though there was slightly less effort put into the cohesion and realism of the second half. There were aspects that were quite engaging and strong, but not like the first half. Additionally, for such a scientifically detailed and strong book, the quick ending seemed not only rushed but questionable scientifically. The ending and in fact the entire fourth part had a slight taste of being an afterthought, in some ways I would have preferred a more fleshed out part three and left it with a small epilogue on the end.However, I am only being this critical of the book because I truly loved it and think it is one of the best stories I've heard seen or read, period. I recommend this book to anyone who loves science and space exploration, you will certainly not regret and highly enjoy this fantastic book by Allan Steele.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Okay storyBy Antolin D. SaizThe story rolls out slowly and covers various generations of the Arkwright family and the drive to transport humankind to another planet. It seems that the author had a primary interest in getting the technical aspects of space travel right, and less on developing an engrossing and interesting story. That being said, the last chapter of the book seems to contradict his premise altogether and as a reader one is left wondering why the big build up of an argument that seems to be discarded at the very end.I had a hard time maintaining an interest in the story but perhaps better if one is very interested in the technical aspects of spacecraft and spae travel.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Arkwright novel ,the start of what could be a great adventureBy David BrownThe first book in the Arkwright saga by Alan Steel portends an exciting project for the author and his readers. Written in an interesting style that both frustrates and yet challenge the reader to experience yet another way to tell a broadly caste tale of human exploration of our galaxy. There are major surprises that thrill us with the details of humans reaching out to the stars to plant a new base for earth folk to preserve our species and investigate new worlds.

Best 19 Science Fiction Books of 2016Written by a highly regarded expert on space travel and exploration, Allen Steele's Arkwright features the precision of hard science fiction with a compelling cast of characters. In the vein of classic authors such as Robert Heinlein, , and Arthur C. Clarke, Nathan Arkwright is a seminal author of the twentieth century. At the end of his life he becomes reclusive and cantankerous, refusing to appear before or interact with his legion of fans. Little did anyone know, Nathan was putting into motion his true, timeless legacy. Convinced that humanity cannot survive on Earth, his Arkwright Foundation dedicates itself to creating a colony on an Earth-like planet several light years distant. Fueled by Nathan's legacy, generations of Arkwrights are drawn together, and pulled apart, by the enormity of the task and weight of their name.This is classic, epic science fiction and engaging character-driven storytelling, which will appeal to devotees of the genre as well as fans of current major motion pictures such as Gravity and Interstellar. ldquo;Arkwright is a book that those with knowledge of the genrersquo;s past will appreciate, and those relatively new to it will realise why the interest in SF has endured. It is brilliant.rdquo; ?SFF Worldldquo;Arkwright is an addictive and entertaining read that packs an unbelievable journey that feels larger and grander in scope than should fit in the pages that bind it, but it pulls it off and pulls it off splendidly. It takes the reader through the history and evolution of Science Fiction, rubbing elbows with Asimov, Heinlein and Clarke, and then beyond present day, looking towards the future and the stars for what lays in store for us next.rdquo; ?The Speculative Herald (4 frac12; stars)ldquo;Arkwright is an alternate history, yes, of what we should and could have done. But itrsquo;s also a renewed vision of what we still could do. Itrsquo;s the most optimistically extrovert sci-fi novel to appear for many years, and it lifts the heart like bugles in the morning.rdquo; ?Wall Street Journalldquo;Arkwright is a novel you can hand to anyone and say lsquo;This is why I like science fiction.rsquo;rdquo; ?SF Signal (four out of five stars)ldquo;Arkwright is a great read, and one that wears its love for genre fiction proudly. Steele has taken the brightest and most recognizable parts of science fiction?that sense of wonder, the ability to tell grand stories on cosmic levels, and sense of can-do exploration?and woven it into a novel thatrsquo;s profoundly aware of where it comes from. Itrsquo;s certainly a science fiction novel that follows in the path of authors like Heinlein and Clarke, and recent books such as Aurora and Seveneves. At the end of the day, this is a book that really celebrates genre fiction and the possibilities that puts forth for our own future.rdquo; ndash;iO9ldquo;In Allen Steelersquo;s capable hands, this wildly unlikely story?stretching across generations of Arkwrights?becomes totally plausible. Itrsquo;s a fun wish-fulfillment romp that every Analog reader should enjoy.rdquo; ?Analogldquo;Steelersquo;s story benefits from roots in real science and actual space- travel theories.rdquo; ?RT Book s (three out of Five? Stars)About the AuthorAllen Steele worked as a freelance journalist before becoming a prolific science fiction writer. He has garnered multiple Hugo Awards for his novellas and novelettes; his novel Orbital Decay won the for Best First Novel in 1990.
