Anyone read Peter F Hamilton's latest? Any good? Read a few of his previous novels and read the other commonwealth titles, which I think were some of the best books I have read in a long time.
 
i'm eagerly awaiting my pre-order to arrive :)

Aye it's the third book in the Commonwealth universe, but it's the start of a new series (iirc you can read it without having read pandora's star and judas unchained).

I was talking to him about the new series a few months ago: do I gather that it set quite a lot later than the first two books?

you met him? :)


aye, from his website it would seem that the dreaming void takes place about a thousand years after Judas Unchained (but with a number of the same characters).

I read that too, makes me wonder whether any of the characters will still be there, being as they were all basically immortal etc...
 
iirc he said in his blog that some of them will be returning, although not in what roles :)

Has anyone heard about a signed edition?
I just spotted it on a website, and as it was cheaper than the regular pre-order I had I made the change :)
 
Signed version... hmmm... Might go for that, I'm a real fan of his work, really been some great reading.

Did start reading the reality dysfunction, got about 2/3 through, but I got busy stopped reading it for a few months, now I remember the plot but forgot all the characters, would have to start it all again :S Worth it?
 
definately, it took me two attempts to get into the reality dysfunction, but once I was into it I read it in a few days, then moved on to the second and third books :)
 
The neutronium alchemist is his best book, al capone and all the dead coming back and experiencing future tech, was a great read while it lasted... yes it is a scifi
 
Went in to Waterstones today, bought the hard back for £13, only read about 30 pages at lunch from work, but love the opening, not quite as good as the opening to Pandoras Star, and it feels odd reading about characters in the previous two books, in relation to it being over a thousand years in the future.

Characters so far haven't really been introduced much, I hope for great things from it though :) although I sense I may be dissapointed.
