Greg Mandel (3)

Peter F. Hamilton

A psi-boosted private detective, Greg Mandel, is pulled into a high-stakes mystery when an alien “nano flower” surfaces at the center of a seemingly ordinary treasure hunt. What begins as a search for origins quickly escalates into a corporate war, drawing allies and adversaries alike into a struggle over power, technology, and the human cost of ambition. As Greg and those around him follow the flower’s trail, the story explores the boundaries of perception, the ethics of engineered abilities, and how desire for control can turn discovery into conflict. Blending fast-moving intrigue with speculative science and psychic intrigue, Peter F. Hamilton delivers a near-future thriller that feels both propulsive and unsettlingly plausible.
