With refreshing determination and hopeful grit, humanity activates a bold endgame against an alien invasion in the finale of a series heralded as âa modern classicâ (Stephen Baxter) from âone of the finest writers the genre has producedâ (Gareth L. Powell).
Humanity is struggling to hold out against a hostile takeover by an alien race that claims to be on a religious mission to bring all sentient life to its God at the End of Time. But while billions of cocooned humans fill the holds of the Olyixâs deadly arkships, humankind is playing an even longer game than the aliens may have anticipated. From an ultra-secret spy mission to one of the grandest battles ever seen, no strategy is off the table. Will a plan millennia in the making finally be enough to defeat this seemingly unstoppable enemy? And what secrets are the Olyix truly hiding in their most zealously protected stronghold?
With his trademark optimism about humanityâs tenacity and capacity for greatness, Peter F. Hamilton wraps up this brilliant saga with a bangâand reminds us why freedom of choice is the most important freedom there is.
All the best in humanity rises to meet a powerful alien threat in the sequel to Salvationâpart of an all-new trilogy from âthe owner of the most powerful imagination in science fictionâ (Ken Follett).
The comparative utopia of twenty-third-century Earth is about to go dreadfully awry when a seemingly benign alien race is abruptly revealed to be one of the worst threats humanity has ever faced. Driven by an intense religious extremism, the Olyix are determined to bring everyone to their version of God as they see it. But they may have met their match in humanity, who are not about to go gently into that good night or spend the rest of their days cowering in hiding. As human ingenuity and determination rise to the challenge, collective humanity has only one goalâto wipe this apparently undefeatable enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means playing a ridiculously long game indeed.
But in a chaotic universe, it is hard to plan for every eventuality, and it is always darkest before the dawn.
Humanityâs complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series from âthe owner of the most powerful imagination in science fictionâ (Ken Follett).
âHow far âspace operaâ has come! The Old Masters of sci-fi would admire the scope and sweep of Salvation.ââThe Wall Street Journal
In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportationâincluding starshipsâvirtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderfulâuntil a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem. . . .
Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamiltonâs Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.
