Chaos #1
Patterns of Chaos
An assassination is ordered-700 million years ago
Bron is a chaos catalyst. He wreaks havoc and destruction as surely as a hurricane wherever he goes. Commando Central has planted an electrode transmitter-receiver deep inside his brain and infiltrated him into the Destroyer Spacefleet to prevent it from gaining absolute mastery of the galaxy. But Bron's own brand of chaos is lethally unpredictable. And when whole planets are annihilated by monster hellburner bombs set on course seven hundred million years ago from distant Andromeda, aimed directly at Bron himself, both sides realise that something more colossal, more threatening and infinitely more powerful is taking a hand in Bron's weird destiny...
The Patterns of Chaos is SF in the grand style-a mighty tale of galactic intrigue and destruction.

Die Destruktoren plündern einen Planeten nach dem anderen und zerstören ihn anschliessend. Ein Einsatzkommando soll ihre Ursprungswelt herausfinden, damit man sie angreifen und vernichten kann. Dazu wird ein berühmter Wissenschaftler, der die Strukturen des Chaos erforscht, durch einen Agenten des Teams ersetzt. Man erwartet (zu Recht) dass die Desktruktoren als nächstes den Planeten Onaris erobern werden und sich den Wissenschaftler krallen werden.

Zum Buch selbst: das Worldbuilding überzeugte mich nicht, die Action ist reißerisch. Man kriegt nichts vom Innenleben des Protagonisten Bron mit, obwohl man als Leser in seinem Kopf steckt. Die physikalischen Theorien über Entropie und Chaos sind hahnebüchender Unsinn. Ich musste abbrechen.
