About this audiobook
The year is 3326. Nigel Sheldon, one of the founders of the Commonwealth, receives a visit from the Raiel-self-appointed guardians of the Void, the enigmatic construct at the core of the galaxy that threatens the existence of all that lives. The Raiel convince Nigel to participate in a desperate scheme to infiltrate the Void.
Once inside, Nigel discovers that humans are not the only life-forms to have been sucked into the Void. The humans trapped there are afflicted by an alien species of biological mimics-the Fallers-that are intelligent but merciless killers. Yet these same aliens may hold the key to destroying the threat of the Void forever-if Nigel can uncover their secrets.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’m a fan of Peter F. Hamilton, but enjoyed this book the most so far. With the complexity of the commonwealth universe, and the bouncing between the dreams and the present in the void/commonwealth from the previous books I’ve read, this one flowed very well and kept my attention with no cumbersome transitions. After the first void trilogy, I went through Gillian Anderson’s trilogy, which was ok, but not great, it was refreshing to come back to this quality of story and writing. While not quite Arthur C. Clarke, it’s close.
I thoroughly recommend this book, especially if you have read the commonwealth trilogy and the void trilogy. I’m downloading the next book now. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book by Peter F Hamilton. Can't wait to get to book two.
