A review by sidetracked
The Dreaming Void, by Peter F. Hamilton
5.0
I picked up the Void trilogy once again as a refresher for the new books that came out in the series. It is surprisingly much more entertaining than the first time I read it with nice characters (a few of the original cast are returning to a slightly different world than the one we left behind in Judas Unchained.
Humanity has expanded beyond its wildest imagination, spanning more than 500 light years. Circumnavigation of the galaxy has taken place and humans have achieved post-physical level. The human race has split into different factions and religion is antagonizing humans yet again. Humanity has come full circle.
In the center of the galaxy there is nothing but the Void. The arch-enemy of the Raiel and the potential bane of the entire galaxy. Now, humanity through its largest religious movement in history- the Living Dream - is preparing to venture into the Void to live the dreams of its founder: Inigo.
Peter Hamilton masterfully weaves the Void dreams full of sword and sorcery into the incredible Commonwealth universe of the 35th century and creates new characters that you care about, new lifestyles and plots.
A spectacle to read and highly entertaining, especially if you enjoyed Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained, which are a must read before starting the Void trilogy.
