The wait is over. Bestselling science fiction master Peter
F. Hamilton is back with the first of a new two-book saga
set in his popular Commonwealth universe. Distinguished by
deft plotting, a teeming cast of characters, dazzling
scientific speculation, and imagination that brings the
truly alien to life, The Abyss Beyond Dreams reveals
Hamilton as a storyteller of astonishing ingenuity and power.
The year is 3326. Nigel Sheldon, one of the founders of the
Commonwealth, receives a visit from the Raiel—self-appointed
guardians of the Void, the enigmatic construct at the core
of the galaxy that threatens the existence of all that
lives. The Raiel convince Nigel to participate in a
desperate scheme to infiltrate the Void.
Once inside, Nigel discovers that humans are not the only
life-forms to have been sucked into the Void, where the laws
of physics are subtly different and mental powers
indistinguishable from magic are commonplace. The humans
trapped there are afflicted by an alien species of
biological mimics—the Fallers—that are intelligent but
merciless killers.
Yet these same aliens may hold the key to destroying the
threat of the Void forever—if Nigel can uncover their
secrets. As the Fallers’ relentless attacks continue, and
the fragile human society splinters into civil war, Nigel
must uncover the secrets of the Fallers—before he is killed
by the very people he has come to save.
