Synopsis

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.

Under normal circumstances, I would normally rate a book like this lower because the setup leaves us hanging, but this is PETER F HAMILTON we're talking about.

Goodreads review by Plamen on September 28, 2018

Ever since Pandora’s Star, Peter F. Hamilton seems to be forever stuck in an ever-repetitive story about wormhole-based human expansion across the stars. Whether he names his built-in digital assistant ‘e-butler’, ‘secondary thought routines’ or ‘mInet’, every novel of his since 2004, whether set in......more

Goodreads review by Michael on May 03, 2020

I am a bit conflicted on this review. It was interesting, even compelling sci-fi, but somewhat predictable and its originality is somewhat deceptive as many of the concepts and even the storytelling was directly inspired by Dan Simmons’ extraordinary Hyperion. As far as I have read, the portals idea......more

Goodreads review by Krystal on September 29, 2019

This was actually so much fun! I don't read a lot of sci-fi (my brain can't handle the science) but I was kinda keen for some alien mischief so this one found its way into my hands. WELL. What I expected: -Motley crew vaguely described and big enough to allow for characters to get eaten/shredded/sucke......more
