About this listen
‘Action-oriented hardcore science fiction at its page-turning best’ – The Guardian
Fight together - or die alone.
In the twenty-third century, humanity is enjoying a comparative utopia. Yet life on Earth is about to change, forever. Feriton Kane’s team has discovered a terrifying alien conspiracy. The supposedly benign Olyix plan to harvest humanity, then carry this apocalyptic cargo to their god at the end of the universe. As their agents conclude schemes down on Earth, vast warships converge above . . .
Some factions push for humanity to flee, to live in hiding amongst the stars. But others refuse to break before the storm. As disaster looms, they must all focus on one goal: wiping the enemy from the face of creation
‘Galactic-scale space opera . . . It’s audacious, exciting, and funny’ – Alastair Reynolds, author of Revelation Space
‘Everything readers of Salvation will have hoped for. A series emerging as a modern classic’ – Stephen Baxter, author of Time
‘A masterclass in tension and spectacle’ – Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War

Critic reviews
'Humanity rises to meet a powerful alien threat, in this extraordinary sequel to Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation. This is a high-octane adventure from 'the most powerful imagination in science fiction' - Ken Follett

I believe that the back-and-forth plot this book is based on is not for everyone. If you’re in for a straightforward science-fiction thriller going from a defined beginning to an ending point or conclusion, This is not the book for you.
The book is filled with twists, plot turns and goes back-and-forth in time considerably throughout its course.
I loved it.
The book goes around an alien invasion from its current point of view in which the aliens invade to a future time in which humanity’s plan to fight back kicks in. Even though you have the general idea of what is going to happen, the reader can’t escape the general feeling of impending doom, delivered masterfully by a slew characters with different points of view and social statuses.
Moreover, the book climaxes both in the future and current storylines at the same time connecting them together in a way one wouldn’t think possible at the beginning.
I do not want to spoil the book for anyone who is going to read it so I’m going to stop here and just wish you a great time reading this wonderful book
A masterpiece of a science fiction novel

Awesome author

I still mix up some of the guys from the assessment team apart from the Scottish guy which is a bit weak.
A lot of hate for John Lee in the reviews ? Maybe the American ear doesn't suit his voice but I think he & Hamilton go together like rejuvenation clinics and enzyme bonded concrete.
Much Better Than The Last One

slow and unfulfilling... again

I think that he should have written the story more linearly, but I understand that he didn’t want to come to the point where “the plan” was set into motion and having to write “and then 10000 years passed” before kicking off the final part (which is what Neal Stephenson did in his absolutely horrible Seveneves).
So, I still enjoyed it, but 80% felt like filler, especially clearly felt in the audio book format.
A little slow and meandering
