I’m not a huge Peter Hamilton fan. I’ve enjoyed some of his books, but they always seem like the editor lost the battle about trimming the book down. His latest doorstop, Great North Road, is my favorite type of book, a science fiction mystery book. But, since Peter Hamilton wrote it, we have an almost 1000 page book with a story that spreads over 20+ years and two cities on separate planets. It’s not a bad book, but it’s very slow in places and has storylines and whole chapters that could have been eliminated or severely chopped down without losing anything in the story.

If at First… by Peter Hamilton
I’ve enjoyed some of Peter Hamilton’s books over the year, but, since he’s a writer that turns out yearly 700+ books, it’s hard to keep up with his output. So, when I saw that he had written a free short story for the Kindle, I decided to to check it out. If at First… is a cute little story that touches on topics brought up in Hot Tub Time Machine of all places. So, let’s check out the little time travel(ish) story.
