Peter F. Hamilton brings the exciting saga started in Pandora's Star to a very exciting conclusion, and sets up what will surely be the lead in to the Dreaming Void.

Hamilton creates very rich characters in an complex story that is, IMHO, some of the best science fiction being written today. The aliens are well thought out and fairly alien; The plot has several characters to follow in an interwoven dance that explodes in the final conclusion; and the science is as exciting as the story itself.

This is a must read for any serious sci-fi fan, but don't read this one without first reading Pandora's Star, or you'll be very lost.
