Title: The first novel I *had* to finish
Product review: Way back when I was barely a teenager, someone passed me a copy of 'The Patterns of Chaos'. I was instantly absorbed, engrossed in the story and driven to read until the wee small hours to see what happened to Bron Haltern and his mysterious foes. It was the first time I'd ever done that and I still (after nearly 30 years!) remember the excitement.I've re-read it many times and, yes, it does have some major plot holes but I'd still count it as 'intelligent space opera'.
