The Reality Dysfunction, the first book in Peter F. Hamilton's epic Night's Dawn trilogy, is a sweeping space opera that takes readers on a thrilling journey across the galaxy.
In the year AD 2600, humanity has achieved extraordinary feats. Genetically engineered creatures thrive in space, while sentient starships traverse the stars, amassing wealth by industrializing entire star systems. The Confederation Navy maintains peace throughout inhabited space.
But when a renegade criminal encounters an alien entity on a primitive colony planet, it triggers a catastrophic event that threatens everything humanity has become. This phenomenon, which an extinct race once called ‘the Reality Dysfunction’, is a nightmare that has haunted us since the dawn of time. . .
The Reality Dysfunction is followed by The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God in this epic space opera trilogy. Hamilton's intricate world-building, complex characters, and thrilling plot twists make this a must-read for fans of hard science fiction and space exploration.

Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland in 1960. He began writing in 1987, and sold his first short story to FEAR Magazine in 1988. He has written many bestselling novels, including the Greg Mandel series, the Night’s Dawn trilogy, the Commonwealth Saga, the Void trilogy, the Chronicle of the Fallers and the Salvation Sequence, as well as short-story collections and several standalone titles, including Fallen Dragon and Great North Road.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
In AD 2600, the human race is finally realizing its potential. The galaxy’s colonized planets host a multitude of diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has defeated disease and produced extraordinary space-born creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive, living on the wealth created by industrializing entire star systems. And throughout inhabited space, the Confederation Navy keeps the peace.
Then something goes catastrophically wrong. On a primitive colony planet, a renegade criminal encounters an utterly alien entity. And this unintended meeting triggers the release of those that should never see the light, threatening everything we’ve become. An extinct race named this phenomenon ‘the Reality Dysfunction’. It is a nightmare that has haunted us since the dawn of time.
