Publisher's Summary

They could find a bright future . . . or the end of everything. From Peter F. Hamilton, The Evolutionary Void is the startling conclusion to the Void trilogy, set in the world of the Commonwealth Saga.

Millions of Leaving Dream pilgrims have boarded ships, and are speeding towards the Void at the centre of the galaxy. They are chasing their dream ­– and expect to find paradise. Yet breaching the Void will trigger its expansion, destroying everything in its path.

Paula Myo is desperate to find Void’s latest prophet – Second Dreamer Araminta. As without her, the ships can’t enter the Void. But when Araminta finally chooses her path, it will change things in ways no one could have imagined. And within the Void, Edeard realizes the price of peace may be too high. However, what will this mean for the pilgrims – and the galaxy beyond?

amazing story - inconsistant audio performace

I will always love the full arc of this story, but it was off-putting when you could tell that the voice actor went on a break and came back, it never sounded the same twice.

great ending to a wonderful series

this is the second series I have read after the Chronicle of the fallers. I especially loved the stories of Eduard interspersed within the series and would have just been content to have the entire story about him. amazing vision and compelling storylines weave together beautifully.

Beyond words...

Words cannot describe what this story meant to me, friendships love and amazing sci-fi. Some of the most impactful characters tied together in a well constructed vast story that spans the galaxy.

highly recommended.

book destroyed by imbecile editor

unfortunately this books chapters are completely mixed up. it absolutely wrecks all immersion and completely fucked the book. which is a shame as the first few books of the saga where so amazing which I'm sure this is too but the imbecile editor killed this poor book
