About this listen

The extraordinary second volume in Peter F. Hamilton’s space opera masterpiece, the Salvation Sequence.


‘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

Great story, quality science fiction

The narration is exceptional. These are a quality production and I love them. Book focuses on the non space faring ‘earlier’ characters at the expense of the later future story. Still pretty great though.

Maintains the quality

I do like this author, but some of his books are exceedingly long and complex. This one is long and complex, but continues (as the first in the series did) to hold my interest. I will certainly get the third in the series.

Another good book from Hamilton

I enjoyed this more than Salvation (the first in the series) although to be fair the first half of Salvation was setting the scene and getting to know the characters. The story starts making more sense in this book and the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place as there are a lot of characters and it jumps backwards and forwards in time and sets it up nicely for the final book.
