A great conclusion
A great example of PFH's awesome world building and storytelling ability. He also writes female characters extremely well and has avoided the path that most of hollywood etc have taken for their writing of female protagonists and antagonists.
The trilogy is a well rounded and exceptionally entertaining story. I thoroughly enjoyed all three instalments. I hope that there may one day be a second trilogy to continue the story of the Daedalus.

My least favorite Peter F Hamilton audiobook
I'm not sure if it was more the narration, or the story itself.
The narrator's voices for the characters were very limited, with the main character sounding like a stereotypical child (fine for the first book, but as a responsible figure was just weird), and most of the others sounding like someone doing a corny impression of Queen Elizabeth II. The pronunciation of "suit" as "seeoot" and "bazooke" as "bazeeooka" ripped me from listening pleasure and became excruciatingly irritating to the point that I almost abandoned the story in the middle, and every time Hazel's father was voiced I cringed at the "old British army major" impression.
Elizabeth Klett is a great narrator, but I think her accent and pronunciation was a dreadful match for this book.
With regards to the story, I think it was reasonable, but came across to me as a teenage SF story. The premise was great, but the situations and voicing of the protagonist's thoughts was from the viewpoint of an immature and often shallow sounding person, which I found very difficult to relate to. There was an abundance of cliched and simplistic situations throughout that were more inline with a Dan Brown novel than PFH's usual cleverly thought out situations.
In summary I would say it was more listenable than enjoyable. I can imagine my teenage kids finding it enjoyable, but if you're a fan of PFH's other work I'd recommend giving this one a miss.
