Synopsis

In Peter F. Hamilton and Gareth L. Powell's action-packed sci-fi adventure Light Chaser, a love powerful enough to transcend death can bring down an entire empire.

Amahle is a Light Chaser—one of a number of explorers, who travel the universe alone (except for their onboard AI), trading trinkets for life stories.

But when she listens to the stories sent down through the ages she hears the same voice talking directly to her from different times and on different worlds. She comes to understand that something terrible is happening, and only she is in a position to do anything about it.

And it will cost everything to put it right.

The story managed to be both fascinating and he......more

Goodreads review by Gerhard on January 26, 2022

Amahle found it disconcerting and faintly ridiculous that the future of her species depended on an atomic-sized particle that should never exist. But then, she acknowledged, this universe really had turned out to be a whole lot queerer than she’d ever suspected. I am a regular reader of Peter Hamilto......more

Goodreads review by Magrat on June 26, 2023

Un libro entretenido, original pero que simplemente no era para mi. Me entretuvo, es un ok/vale/bien, está lleno de ideas interesantes y especialmente el principio me pareció que planteaba cosas geniales, pero en ningún momento llegué a implicarme con la lectura o los personajes que no me dijeron na......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on August 26, 2021

There's a mind blowing premise at the heart of Light Chaser which makes for a compelling read, yet some foundational plot elements are hastily glossed over or incompletely presented and left me feeling like I didn't quite get the full picture. The story follows one woman's unraveling of an epic and p......more
