Slow Bullets Book Review

“Slow Bullets ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. A vast conflict, one that has encompassed hundreds of worlds and solar systems, appears to be finally at an end. A conscripted soldier is beginning to consider her life after the war and the family she has left behind. But for Scur – and for humanity – peace is not to be. On the brink of the ceasefire, Scur is captured by a renegade war criminal and left for dead in the ruins of a bunker. She revives aboard a prisoner transport vessel. Something has gone terribly wrong with the ship. Passengers – combatants from both sides of the war – are waking up from hibernation far too soon. Their memories, embedded in bullets, are the only links to a world that is no longer recognizable. And Scur will be reacquainted with her old enemy but with much higher stakes than just her own life.

Brief Summary Slow Bullets by Alastair Reynolds

It’s the end of a long religious war, but “by the book” female soldier Scur has been captured and is being tortured by the “archenemy” mentioned on the book’s cover – presumably he didn’t “get the memo” that there’s been a ceasefire… She loses consciousness but, for a moment, things are looking up as she awakens in a comfortable pod. However, when she emerges from the pod, she is on a ship full of soldiers from both sides, a microcosm of the conflict that Scur hoped she had put behind her. The rest of the book is her taking a leadership role in what comes next.This is a quick read, 2-3 hours to get through the 182 pages of narrative. That tells you two things. First, Reynolds is a storyteller par excellence. He keeps the reader glued by setting up multiple mysteries and levels of mystery. Why am I (Scur) here? What has gone wrong with the ship? Where is the ship? As each question is answered it often leads to another mystery that keeps the pages turning.
