About this title

Synopsis:

At the centre of the Intersolar Commonwealth universe is a massive black hole. This Void is not a natural artefact. Inside there is a strange universe where the laws of physics are very different to those we know. It is slowly consuming the other stars of the galactic core - one day it will have devoured the entire galaxy.

It's AD 4000, and a human has started to dream of the wonderful existence of the Void. He has a following of millions of believers. They now wish to Pilgrimage to the Void to live the life they have been shown. Other starfaring species fear their migration will cause the Void to expand again. They are prepared to stop the Pilgrimage fleet no matter what the cost.

The Pilgrimage begins . . .

Review:

This is thrilling stuff; compulsively readable and abundantly full of ideas. The only drawback is that, as it's the first volume of a new trilogy, we'll have to wait to find out whether our galaxy will be destroyed. Cliff-hangers are tense enough, but this is a planet-hanger! --The Times

Peter Hamilton's willingness to shake up an already fascinating creation with this new trilogy is admirable, and the 1500-year gap offers up both new mysteries for him to reveal, and an opportunity for familiar characters to have grown up and changed. --Starburst

This is a book that arguably nobody else in Brit SF could even have attempted. Epic, multi-stranded, full of wonders. --Sfx
