MEDIA REVIEWS
Peter Hamilton knows how to build a world,and he's one of the best in the field at imagining complex societies,as displayed to magnificent effect...Salvation is a twisty and hugely satisfying SF thriller that opens a portal on a new and exciting seriesExplosions! Assassins! Enigmatic aliens,spaceships and jump doors. Conspiracies and ancient mysteries - it's all here. Accept no substitutes,this is the real deal. You need Salvation,my friend. Everyone needs salvationSalvation is a space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending that makes the sequel a matter of urgencyThe classic Hamilton cocktail of techno-thriller,far-future vision and action adventure shaken to an intoxicating combination. A promising start to an ambitious new series. Science Fiction is in excellent handsNo one offers action-packed,meticulous,suspenseful and consistent hi-tech futures better than Peter Hamilton,and Salvation cranks all of that up five notchesPeter takes the word'epic',then retools and turbocharges it. He is the go-to guy for spectacular science fictionThe owner of the most powerful imagination in science fictionA thoroughly enjoyable readHamilton handles massive ideas with enviable easeHugely impressive. We've said it before but let's say it again: nobody does BIG SF quite like HamiltonA startlingly fresh,vigorous and original cosmic saga. Highly enjoyable!Exciting,wildly imaginative and quite possibly Hamilton's best book to dateA vast,intricate sci-fi showstopper... the journey grips as hard as the revealHow far'space opera'has gone!Peter F. Hamilton just keeps getting better and better with each book,more assured and more craftsmanly adroit,and more inventive...In short,Hamilton is juggling chainsaws while simultaneously doing needlepoint over a shark tank. It's a virtuoso treat,and I for one can hardly wait for Salvation Lost
