Publisher's Summary
The third audiobook in the Night's Dawn trilogy, The Naked God by Peter F. Hamilton is an epic conclusion to dramatic and compelling series.
The Confederation is starting to collapse politically and economically, allowing the possessed to infiltrate more worlds. Quinn Dexter is loose on Earth, destroying the giant arcologies one at a time. As Louise Kavanagh tries to track him down, she manages to acquire some strange and powerful allies whose goal does not match her own. The campaign to liberate Mortonbridge from the possessed degenerates into a horrendous land battle, the kind that hasn't been seen by humankind for 600 years. Then some of the protagonists escape in a very unexpected direction....
Joshua Clavert and Syrinx now fly their starships on a mission to find the Sleeping God - which an alien race believes holds the key to finally overthrowing the possessed.

A Great Trilogy
A great and extensive trilogy, adequately read tho better could be expected... Character confusion made recognition difficult..
Persevere, it's worth it tho a "re-read" (130 hours) is going to be essential...

A coronavirus pandemic in space
I started listening to the trilogy in March, at the start of the COVID19 global pandemic. As I listened to it, I was shocked to realise that the actions taken to stop the Possessed in both 'The Neutronium Alchemist' and 'The Naked God' were so remarkably similar to what the world governments are doing. The book is a good read the entire trilogy very entertaining. Hamilton brilliantly intersects several angles, mystic, horror, civilisations and geopolitics, space opera and the human mind under the optics of science. It is a long book (like most from Hamilton) and some chapters are so density described that ended up being boring.

Consistently great narration by mister Lee, who always exceeds my expectations. Perfect editing too. Anybody who listens to books a lot knows how important that is to the overall enjoyment. Well, these guys did the job well. That was many hour of real fun. Bargain really, what a value for just a credit per sooo many hours of well built and well presented science fiction. I very warmly recommend the series ( and most what Peter F Hamilton writes anyways).

Breathtaking
A got into sci-fi because of Audible. Short story, because of a 10 hour drive alone. On that drive I started with Neale Stephenson’s Seveneves. My mind was blown and straight after I listened to Cryptonomicon and my mind was even blown so more. I realized there is a massive amount of books I have been deprived of I have in almost 3 years devoured, listening 90% sci-fi. I have realized though I don’t enjoy all sci-fi, obviously But after I had finished everything of Neal Stephenson I was thinking that is probably the best of the best until I discovered Peter F Hamilton I can never compare the two of them, because both do vast, interconnected, huge cast of characters, multiple stories, fascinating inventive new worlds, almost god(superhuman) like stories, but differently, and I love that. This trilogy is absolutely mind blowing beautiful to experience. It takes its time and if you can’t appreciate it or don’t have the patience, it’s your problem

Hard To Keep Going
Of course, once you start to read a series of stories such as a trilogy, you really need to see it through. The Night's Dawn trilogy is one of Peter F Hamilton's earlier works recently brought to the audio format having originally been published back in the late 90's. This massive trilogy was penned by Hamilton before his Commonwealth saga and to my mind the Commonwealth saga is a better series of books. The Naked God has been perhaps the longest stab at completing a book I can remember in a long while because it didn't keep me interested long enough to prolong reading to any great degree and so this epic length novel took me about 3 weeks to consume in mostly small 15 or 20 minute morsels. As mentioned in my review of the Neutronium Alchemist, , I feel that the cast of characters Hamilton used in this series was too extensive which slowed the plot down as it often appeared as if proceedings were moving sideways rather than forwards as we dropped in on each of the numerous characters in turn. Hamilton has refined his story telling in the subsequent Commonwealth saga by reducing the number of key characters to a much more manageable quantity which in turn allows things to develop faster and hold the readers interest far more. Again, for the sake of fairness I would like to say that such a long story with a multitude of characters may need to be read in longer sittings in order to allow the reader to absorb more of what's going on so my feeling about this book might be remedied if this approach is adopted. To me, though, The Naked God suffers in the same way as the second in the trilogy did. By far the best in the trilogy is the first, The Reality Dysfunction which held my interest much more and as such I devoured it in longer and fewer sessions. I feel that Hamilton dragged things out over the second two books once he had built a great first act in the series.
Hamilton is a great writer but I think he tried rather too hard with the Night's Dawn trilogy. There was just too much unnecessary narrative which did little for the plot as a whole and only served to mire its pace to the point where I basically lost interest which was a shame. This experience does not colour my views of Hamilton as an author as I have read and greatly enjoyed all of his Commonwealth series . So, the Reality Dysfunction was by far the best of the series in my view with the last two parts being sadly drawn out affairs. Sure, there were highlights in both those books but they came rather too far apart to maintain reader interest. Hamilton clearly wanted to create scope by spreading the narrative over a large collection of characters but he went a little too far and the plot suffered as a result.
John Lee, as ever, does a sterling job with this very long book but I did spot a few inconsistencies which might have been some of the narrator reading things wrong as well as the author having written them wrong. For example, we are told that a particular journey will be some 1,600 light years but then we hear a couple of references to 16,000 light years. Then, the journey is extended another 300 odd light years and we come back to a total of 1,900 light years. Hard to say if that's narrator error or not. What I think was author error was a funny transposition where the following is read "She shielded her hand with her eyes.". Hmmm .. I am also a little confused as to whether the planetary system plane of planets or the galactic disc is the ecliptic or elliptic?
It is clear that Hamilton worked very long and hard on this book but I'm afraid The Naked God doesn't work for me and it was a long heavy read for the most part spread over too many characters. If you're new to Peter F Hamilton and have been put off his work then I would urge you to reconsider and get yourself Pandora's Star, the first in his excellent Commonwealth series. The Naked God is a five star effort but at best a 3 star read. It's too long because it's bloated with too many players all needing their slice of a plot which as a result moves too laboriously.

Perfect ending, very well narrated.
I struggled a little bit through Neutronium alchemist (book 2) as I found the pacing and all the plot lines interrupted the flow of the book. Similar thing happens at the start of this book, however do not be discouraged. The book offers a perfect ending to the trilogy, bringing together all the loose ends of this epic saga.
The series in general is not only just an interesting read, it is a book that makes you think about life, its point and dealing with death.

1.2 million words of the best space trilogy I've listened to.
I won't waste much time here to explain my thoughts in detail, however this was, I believe, the turning point in Peter's writing. So that means that these are the books that shattered his own preconception of what Science Fiction writing should be, and it launched him on a trajectory style all of his own.
The journey is long, so in preparation I give you two pieces of advice. 1: let the story wash over you without trying to remember all the details such as: people's names, where they are and what they doing. It will all become clear by repetition. And 2, this might just be the set of Science Fiction books that you spend the rest of your life searching to trying and better.
Enjoy.

who doesn't like finishing on a high note?
In the end the human race didnt solve its own problem with possession. They had a little.....or allot of help. it summed everything up just a little too fast. for a story that takes place over 120 hours it felt a bit hurried along to its conclusion.
still an excellent thought provokimg sci fi story. a classic in my humble opinion.

Just as you would expect from a Peter F Hamilton
Loved it as I have all his books. The narration is fine and an easy listen.

Phenomenally huge sci-fi.
The hardest part of a huge book, especially one as good as this, is finishing. I didn't want it to end. It took me three weeks to complete - plus the time to get through the first two parts - that I had become accustomed to the characters. I enjoyed spending time (and space) with them and felt I knew them personally. Hamilton does a brilliant job of tying the multitude of strands together and the ending was certainly worth the time. The whole series comes in at about 130 hours but don't let that stop you. It is time well spent. John Lee's narration is as good as always, he is one of my favourite readers. I know I haven't mentioned the story but that's because you should have read parts 1 & 2 first so you'll know what's happening. If you don't then start from the beginning. It is certainly worth it.
