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
