Summary
Summary
In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation—including starships—virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful—until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem . . .Bursting with tension and big ideas, Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Hamilton paints with a very broad brush, skipping from planet to planet and plot line to plot line, but each strand is at the same time finely detailed…The Old Masters of sci-fi would admire the scope and sweep of Salvation but marvel even more at the amount of thought that now has to go into making futures plausible.” —Wall Street Journal
“Hamilton just keeps getting better and better with each book, more assured and more craftsmanly adroit, and more inventive.” —Locus
“Exciting, wildly imaginative, and quite possibly Hamilton’s best book to date.” —SFX
“Narrator John Lee takes the reins of a sprawling space opera filled with diverse characters and intense world-building…Lee tackles every character with surprising variation, including accent, tone, inflection, and more…Lee complements the slow story well with a lively narration and subtle humor while adapting to each section’s different mood. The result is a promising start to a new series featuring a narrator at the top of his game.” —AudioFile
“Peter F. Hamilton smashes through the crazy battlefield of space opera like a giant all-conquering war-robot…Loud, proud, and beyond epic.” —Ian McDonald, author of Time Was
“No one offers action-packed, meticulous, suspenseful, and consistent high-tech futures better than Peter Hamilton, and Salvation cranks all of that up five notches.” —David Brin, author of Existence
Lee tackles every character with surprising variation, including accent, tone, inflection, and more. —AudioFile
