Will their heart's desire doom a civilization? The bestselling Void trilogy continues in The Temporal Void, an astonishing and vast space opera from Peter F. Hamilton, set in the world of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is in turmoil, as a cult prepares for its pilgrimage into the Void. Breaching its boundaries could cause an irreparable rift in space. Yet these fanatics are unstoppable, convinced by the Void’s projections of a paradise within. An alien invasion fleet is also on the way, as the Oscien Empire attempts to take advantage of humanity’s confusion.

Investigator Paula Myo must hunt the Void’s latest prophet, in an attempt to stop her spreading its enticing visions. And at the heart of events is Edeard the Waterwalker, who lived long ago within the Void. Tales of his glorious story inspired the Pilgrimage – but may yet expose the Void’s true nature.

The Temporal Void is the second book in the Void trilogy. Complete the epic adventure with The Evolutionary Void.

Critic reviews

One of the most popular authors of "space operas" in Britain today, writing vast doorsteps of novels that combine fantastic speculation with incredible detailed imagining of the lives we will lead after the 30th century . . . Hamilton's story telling is crystal clear (Guardian)
We've said it before but let's say it again: nobody does BIG SF quite like Hamilton (SFX)
Hamilton again proves he's expert at conjuring widescreen space opera. But it's not just the epic at which he excels: the fantasy sequences . . . have an unexpected lightness of touch. An audacious collision of genres with real energy and verve: excellent. (BBC Focus)
Maintains the quality and wonder that began with The Dreaming Void (SFSignal)

Again, Peter F Hamilton produces stories that makes to stick a headset into your ear wherever you go. The narration by John Lee is better than the previous book, in my opinion, and makes it fairly easy to keep track of who's talking to who.

Now, off to the next part and hope it won't fall flat on its own grandeur.

Gotta keep listening...

This was my fifth very lengthy title by Peter Hamilton, all of which in the same universe, and I have to say, this is the best one so far! And the rest got 4 stars from me as well, mind you.

This second novel in the Void trilogy really deepens both stories of this novel-within-a-novel, in an exciting way. There's the scifi story with several well-loved characters, and then of course there's the fantasy novel about Edeard, living his life on a planet in the Void.

The climax near the end of the novel is awesome, I have to say I thought "OMG Hamilton pulled a Game of Thrones!"
And as if that weren't enough, he also manages to add a third (sub)genre to this one novel, namely the superhero archetypal story. And there was even a hint of Western this time. I loved it, it was so well done!

This story has everything I want from my novels: a thrilling plot, my three favorite genres, well fleshed-out characters, romance, adventure, high tech, magic, and some very, very skilled writing.

Narration, as always with John Lee, was absolutely superb.

Can't praise this novel enough - a credit well, well spent!

Best one yet!
