About this listen
With refreshing determination and hopeful grit, humanity activates a bold endgame against an alien invasion in the finale of a series heralded as "a modern classic" (Stephen Baxter) from "one of the finest writers the genre has produced" (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 Olyix's 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 humanity's tenacity and capacity for greatness, Peter F. Hamilton wraps up this brilliant saga with a bang - and reminds us why freedom of choice is the most important freedom there is.

Story
A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family - composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone "brothers" have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies. Or maybe not so friendly....

At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: Over 1,000 light-years away, a star...vanishes. It does not go supernova. It does not collapse into a black hole. It simply disappears.

Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Story
The galaxy was once terrorized by the Sturm, a group of “species purists” intent on destroying any human with genetic or cybernetic enhancements. Fashioning themselves as the one true “Human Republic,” the Sturm cut a bloody swath across the stars, killing billions before finally being defeated and driven into the far reaches of Dark Space. Centuries of peace bred complacency. Everyone believed the Sturm had died out in the Dark. They were wrong.

Story
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

Story
Physicist Philip Moray is having a good day. He’s chipping away at his big work project. The lunch in the cafeteria is at least edible. And he’s looking forward to his end-of-the-day drink and a soak in the hot tub. Then, a strange device turns up in his office. A piece of technology he has never seen before–and shouldn’t even exist. Suddenly, corpses start turning up, eco-activists go on the attack, random people suffer bizarre symptoms. And every time the authorities get a lead, it traces right back to Philip and his colleague, Celia Hunt.

Typical Tchaikovsky in that there is nothing “typical” about it!
- By Fugazirancid on 06-06-25
But that's a good thing in reality... the two trilogies compliment one another and I find them to be both enriching and discomforting. Actually I think Peter F. Hamilton's perspective is a bit less coherent but actually a little bit more adventurous a sort of page turning highly intelligent perspective on melodrama .Where I find Cixin Lui's perspective to be a more cogent, cold but slightly more believable scenario... even though they're obviously both based on wildly imaginative perspectives that absolutely no one can be compelled to perceive as what will actually happen in the future.
This Book Is awesome... but it's rated R and I mean that by saying that it's contradictions between approaching the topic of gender and almost a pornographic perspective on human sexuality is indulgent but actually understandable when you watch the whole plot play out... it's oddly darkly realistic.
The narration by John Lee is a very compelling and I don't know why some of the reviews seem to imply they're shallow disconnected stories: that's just weak reading or listening: it's actually a probable genre methodology that I would also imagine being useful from both a publishers "make them stay & to keep up reading/listening ..."stick around for a long time" strategy... as well as the back and forth perspective of how the reader learns from one and then the other perspective of the characters of the cumulative knowledge they both garner while in the midst of the ever-building crescendo of the storyline.
I found myself on more than one occasion especially during this final episode of the trilogy shouting aloud or whacking the steering wheel thinking "oh my God that's really happened!" so that's obviously a good sign of some very compelling writing.
You should definitely try to get through all 50 plus hours of these three books if you have the time over a few weeks or months; it's a good ride...really it's something I enjoy a great deal.
A long whirling ride through deep, wild sci-fi!
