Synopsis

In this incredible sequel to Pandora's Star, the Commonwealth Saga goes out with a bang. Judas Unchained is a stunning, expansive space opera from one of the world's bestselling science fiction writers, Peter F. Hamilton.

Our worlds are under invasion – and only the impossible can save us now . . .

Over hundreds of years, the human race has been manipulated into starting a war. And it's one that could destroy our entire civilization. Chief Investigator Paula Myo is nominated to hunt the creature behind this ploy, while our invasion continues and multiple worlds fall to the enemy. In response, Admiral Kime commands humanity's defense, marshaling war-ready super-weapons. Yet he discovers his adversaries wield equally powerful armaments.

The question is – where did these come from? Has the Commonwealth's top-secret defense project been compromised, or is the truth even worse than we can imagine?

The Commonwealth Saga duology starts with Pandora's Star.

OUR WORLDS ARE UNDER INVASION – AND ONLY THE IMPOSSIBLE CAN SAVE US

The human race has been manipulated into starting a war that could destroy civilization.

As entire planets fall to the enemy, Chief Investigator Paula Myo is tasked with an unenviable mission – to hunt down the terrifying being who orchestrated this conflict.

Admiral Kime commands humanity’s resistance, deploying war-winning super-weapons. Yet he discovers his adversaries wield equally powerful armaments. The question is – where did these come from? Has the Commonwealth’s top-secret defence project been compromised, or is the truth more terrible than we can imagine?
