Inhaltsangabe

Pandora's Star is the first part of Peter F. Hamilton's epic Commonwealth Saga duology – a fantastic galaxy-spanning novel from the master of space opera. For fans of Iain M. Banks and Alastair Reynolds.

At the edge of the galaxy something awakens – and it's coming for us . . .

Earth AD 2329: Humanity has colonized over four hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. For the first time in mankind's history there is peace. Then a star over a thousand light years away suddenly vanishes, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size. Yet who – or what – has that sort of technology? And what could this mean for us? Only a faster-than-light starship, captained by ex-NASA astronaut Wilson Kime, can reach that distance to investigate.

For Wilson, getting inside the force field could be easy. It may be harder to stop something else from getting out.

What if there was a very good reason to seal off an entire star system?

The Commonwealth Saga duology concludes with Judas Unchained.

'The best book Hamilton has written in years' - Guardian

'Anyone who begins this won’t be able to put it down' - Publishers Weekly

Von der hinteren Coverseite

AT THE EDGE OF A GALAXY SOMETHING AWAKENS – AND IT’S COMING FOR US

Earth AD 2329: Humanity has colonized over four hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. For the first time in mankind’s history, there is peace. Then a star over a thousand light-years away vanishes, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size.

Only a faster-than-light starship, captained by ex-NASA astronaut Wilson Kime, can travel that distance in time to investigate.

But what if there was a good reason for sealing off an entire star system? Getting in could prove easier than the worst possible outcome – something else getting out.

Praise for the Commonwealth Saga

Guardian

‘Anyone who begins this won’t be able to put it down’

Publishers Weekly

‘Massively bloody action sequences, betrayals galore, and near-miraculous last-minute escapes . . . Highly recommended’
