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. Praise for Peter F.

Temporal Void "Fusing elements of hard SF with
adventure fantasy tropes, Hamilton has singlehandedly
raised the bar for grand-scale speculative storytelling."-
