  • Hive in the Alpha Centauri fiction

    I have never read the fictional books on Alpha Centauri. If any of you have, can you tell me about what the Hive is like?

    it's everything you can imagine and more. underground tunnels, jade dragons, clones, nerve staples, vertical central shafts to the surface, brutal army. Yang. Go buy the books.
    It's really Synthetic God... I guess I didn't notice my own typo.

        Quez-If you are as much of a fan of the Hive as I am, then you will enjoy the books. The first one is basically Spartans vs. PKs. Second is harder to decipher, but the Hive plays a prominent role. Sheng-ji Yang does not dissapoint.

        The third book has mixed reviews, but the Hive plays a part in it as well. I really liked book 2 and 3.

          Sign me up for book 2. I'm not a big fan of Hive, but I'd be cool to see his social experiment. I'm a fan of Deidre

            I'm still waiting for the local library to order in book two and three, they only have book one (the cheapskates).

            I'm intrigued by the possibility of a Hive - Gaians alliance that Yang alludes to in the epilogue of Centauri Dawn.

              Book 2 is really good. It shows insight on the Hive that I've found to be very interesting.

                Appearantly Deirdre was able to give Yang some pleasant 'information for his senses' (running naked through the trees?)
