About this listen
The first volume in the Chronicles of the Fallers, The Abyss Beyond Dreams is an incredible adventure, exploring the mystery at the heart of the Peter F. Hamilton's sprawling Commonwealth Universe. For fans of Iain M. Banks and Alaistair Reynolds.
To save their civilization, he must destroy it.
When a so-called prophet sees visions of a lost civilization, Nigel Sheldon is asked to investigate. Especially as these dreams seem to be coming from the Void – a mysterious area of space with hugely destructive capabilities. Then Nigel crash-lands inside the Void, and finds so much more than he expected. Bienvenido: a planet populated by survivors from long-vanished Commonwealth ships.
For centuries their descendants have been fighting a desperate battle against the Fallers, space-born predators that have evolved to conquer worlds. And Nigel soon realizes that the Fallers hold the key to the destruction of the Void itself. If he can survive long enough to find it . . .
Continue the adventure with the second in the duology, Night Without Stars.

Excited for the sequel
I enjoyed this book, much like Hamilton's other books. I would recommend reading the Commonwealth Saga and Void series before this one, although it might not be essential. This book is more of the same, except with less of the "converging storylines" that the previous books utilized (get comfortable listening to the same character's perspective for much of the book).
Love the narration, in line with the other series.

Good story, but...
Not sure I wanted to read about a communist revolution set in space, but spent large chunks of the book doing so!

Dors not disappoint
It's very very good. Peter F Hamilton is a fantastic, believeable scifi author and the narration for this was spot on - even if I had never imagined Nigel Sheldon sounding quite like that in my head.

Did not see that ending coming
Classic PFH Commonwealth saga ridiculousness. Just what I felt like listening to. The new void setting is interesting.

Too much social revolution, not enough space opera
Wonderfully narrated, unfortunately the bulk of the book focuses on non space faring characters involved in planning a planetary revolution, with too little attention to space opera or previous characters in the Commonwealth Universe for which Peter Hamilton & this series is known. Enjoyed far less than the previous books in the series.
