About this listen

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.

'The most powerful imagination in science fiction' – Ken Follett, author of The Pillars of the Earth


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.

Critic Reviews

Everything readers of Salvation will have hoped for. A series emerging as a modern classic (Stephen Baxter on Salvation Lost)
This is galactic-scale space opera . . . audacious, exciting, funny and just happens to have the most terrifying alien invasion concept I've ever encountered (Alastair Reynolds on Salvation Lost)
Savage, brilliant and compelling. A masterclass in tension and spectacle (Gareth L. Powell on Salvation Lost )
Explosions! Assassins! Enigmatic aliens, spaceships and jump doors . . . Accept no substitutes, this is the real deal. You need Salvation, my friend. Everyone needs salvation (Ian McDonald on Salvation)
The classic Hamilton cocktail of techno-thriller, far-future vision and action adventure shaken to an intoxicating combination. A promising start to an ambitious new series. Science Fiction is in excellent hands (Justina Robson on Salvation)

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.

A great ending (or is it) to the series

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 :)

Sci Fi perfection

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 best book of the worst series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

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)

The story I never want to end
