Explanation Conducive To Books The Dreaming Void (Void #1)

The year is 3589, fifteen hundred years after Commonwealth forces barely staved off human extinction in a war against the alien Prime. Now an even greater danger has surfaced: a threat to the existence of the universe itself. At the very heart of the galaxy is the Void, a self-contained microuniverse that cannot be breached, cannot be destroyed, and cannot be stopped as it steadily expands in all directions, consuming everything in its path: planets, stars, civilizations. The Void has existed for untold millions of years. Even the oldest and most technologically advanced of the galaxy’s sentient races, the Raiel, do not know its origin, its makers, or its purpose. But then Inigo, an astrophysicist studying the Void, begins dreaming of human beings who live within it. Inigo’s dreams reveal a world in which thoughts become actions and dreams become reality. Inside the Void, Inigo sees paradise. Thanks to the gaiafield, a neural entanglement wired into most humans, Inigo’s dreams are shared by hundreds of millions–and a religion, the Living Dream, is born, with Inigo as its prophet. But then he vanishes. Suddenly there is a new wave of dreams. Dreams broadcast by an unknown Second Dreamer serve as the inspiration for a massive Pilgrimage into the Void. But there is a chance that by attempting to enter the Void, the pilgrims will trigger a catastrophic expansion, an accelerated devourment phase that will swallow up thousands of worlds. And thus begins a desperate race to find Inigo and the mysterious Second Dreamer. Some seek to prevent the Pilgrimage; others to speed its progress–while within the Void, a supreme entity has turned its gaze, for the first time, outward. . . . From the Hardcover edition.

Commentary Based On Books The Dreaming Void (Void #1)

I've come to the conclusion that Peter F. Hamilton is an acquired taste. Maybe it just requires patience and getting used to his often HUGE PAGE COUNTS. Most of it is devoted to establishing his characters and their backstories, so it's not a huge complaint. Where he shines is his vast SF worldbuilding which takes on a very complex and rich character rarely seen in ANY series. We're dealing with 20 or 30 thousand pages of the same universe across vast distances, worlds, and timeframes. And not

Disappointing. Not as compelling as the previous Commonwealth Saga duo "Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained". Even though my favorite character, Paula Myo returns, she isn't quite the same after her last re-life. The thread involving Araminta just seems to be an excuse to include a LOT of unnecessary and uninteresting group sex into the novel. Also, I found the the concept of "multiple humans" to be quite lame. I thought the "Water Walker" plot thread was more interesting than the rest, but

This is not a bad book, but it just doesn't hang together that well. I kept hoping the very interesting parts would become a very interesting whole, but no, not really. (This is partly because this builds on books that I've either not read, or read so long ago I barely remember them.)Note: The rest of this review has been withheld due to the changes in Goodreads policy and enforcement.

The last time I read a book by Peter F. Hamilton was around mid-April 2014, as I write it is the 2nd of April 2015, almost a year in between. The book was The Naked God, 1268 pages of eye watering mayhem. What that useless factoid means is that his books are so damn long that after I finish a series by him I tend to feel the need to take a years break. What it also indicates is that after a while I always come back for more of his long winded adventures. Having said that The Dreaming Void is a

Actually, I'm only WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE of finishing this interesting book, which was a gift from one of my daughters more than a year ago. While worthy and as I said interesting in many ways, it was not for me a compelling read. Hamilton is gifted but seems to write without any discipline with regard to outlining his story arcs in advance of writing, or if he DOES so, it is not set out for the reader in any clearly discernible way.His gifts and strengths do lie in his imagination, and the

I haven't read any of Peter Hamilton's other books so if there are elements that help understanding this book that are in the others then I'm out of luck. The book explores a number of different technology advances and their effects on the races that exist in this future, such as hive minds, shared consciousness, techno-empathy, effective immortality, and others. Unfortunately there are just so many characters and moving parts that don't actually do anything that this entire book feels like it's

This was a holiday read that I only picked up because I fancied a chunky SF epic and this was the only one on my parents' bookshelf. Having been mildly diverted by the Night's Dawn trilogy around a decade ago, I was curious to see how Hamilton justified his tag as "Britain's Number One Science Fiction Author". Not very well as it turns out.This was a largely risible effort, confirming the often-levelled accusation that far from being the genre of ideas, SF, at least in its mainstream space opera
