Publisher's Summary

Earth is falling. Will our call for help be heard? The Saints of Salvation is the extraordinary conclusion to Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation Sequence: a high-octane adventure from a master of the genre.

Live in hiding – or die for freedom

Humanity welcomed the Olyix and their utopian technology. But mankind was tricked. Now these visitors are extracting a terrible price.

For two years, the Olyix have laid siege to Earth, harvesting its people for their god. One by one, cities are crumbling beneath their devastating weaponry. And while millions have fled to seek refuge in space, others continue to fight an apparently unwinnable war.

As Earth's defeat draws near, a team attempts to infiltrate the Salvation of Life – the Olyix’s arkship. If it succeeds, those chosen will travel to a hidden enclave thousands of light years away. Once there, they must signal its location to future generations, to bring the battle to the enemy. Maybe allies scattered throughout space and time can join forces. Yet in the far future, humanity are still hunted by their ancient adversary. And as forces battle on in the cold reaches of space, hope seems distant indeed . . .

The Saints of Salvation is the third and final book in the Salvation Sequence by Peter F. Hamilton.

A great ending (or is it) to the series

This was my favorite of the series and really hard to stop listening to. I have read all Hamiltons adult books and although not my favorite series of his it was still thoroughly enjoyable and in my opinion he's one of the best in the Sci-fi genre.

Sci Fi perfection

I counted the days to the release of this concluding book, and it has turned out to be everything I'd hoped and so much more. Thank you Peter! I implore you to continue with this rich and amazing universe :)

The best book of the worst series

Great ending to the series. Could have been better but it did make me glad to have pushed the the terrible first two books to at least get a resolution.

The story I never want to end

An awesome story. With Thought out characters That make smart informed decisions With real weight influencing the plot. And with the universe that feels incredibly real. The only criticism I have Is I didn’t have you emotional response like the Commonwealth series with story of Edyard (Sorry for bad spelling)

Final Book in Trilogy

Really liked the overall story. This book closed out the trilogy with humans striking back against their adversaries. Lots of great science fiction and worthwhile story lines.

Enjoyable listening

A thoroughly entertaining chapter of this epic sci-fi saga, full of cinematic scenarios and thought provoking science. Pure escapism which should delight most genre buffs.

Fanbloodytastic!

Hamilton is sometimes criticised for a strong mid-game but weak endings. This book blows that out of the water.
The intense fear of the situation Humanity finds itself in the first 2 books is still present in all its nerve-wracking glory. But it’s mixed this time with so much hope it can and does make one cry.
Hamilton, as always, is a sneaky bugger and to see his carefully laid clues pay off as to the final disposition of the cast was just grouse.

A fantastic conclusion. And SPOILERS hopefully not quite the end of the Salvation universe.

The narrator was, as he always is, absolutely spot on.
