Void Trilogy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Void Trilogy is a science fiction series by British SF writer Peter F. Hamilton. The series is set in the same universe as The Commonwealth Saga, 1,200 years after the end of Judas Unchained.
Announced in August 2005, the series contract calls for it to be completed by 2011. Hamilton released the first book in August 2007.
Peter F. Hamilton has sold the American rights to the series to Random House, who have announced that the three books will be entitled The Dreaming Void, Life of Dreams and Evolution's Dream, and hope to publish them in late 2007, early 2009 and late 2010 respectively.[1] However, Hamilton's official site has not confirmed this as yet.
A time line that links the Commonwealth Saga with the Void Trilogy, filling in the 1500-year gap, has been written by Hamilton. [2]
The following books are in the series:
- The Dreaming Void (released on August 3rd, 2007), ISBN 978-1405088800
- The Temporal Void (forthcoming, October 3rd 2008), ISBN 978-1405088831

[edit] Content
Peter F. Hamilton has revealed that the trilogy will reveal the function, purpose and fate of the High Angel, the sentient alien arkship which played a small but crucial role in the events of The Commonwealth Saga. A myriad of minor cliffhangers from The Commonwealth Saga, mostly related to the fates of several characters which are left unresolved, are also expected to be addressed.
Hamilton has revealed that the storyline revolves around the discovery that the black hole at the core of the Milky Way Galaxy is actually a portal to a utopian, paradise-like dimension. However, mass-migration through the black hole threatens to destroy or devastate the entire galaxy, triggering a major interstellar debate and crisis.
Hamilton has said that notable characters from the commonwealth saga will return, but will have changed a lot since Judas Unchained. One given example is Justine Burnelli.
