Salvation: A Novel | Peter F. Hamilton
8 posts | 14 read | 13 to read
Humanitys complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series from the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction (Ken Follett). In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportationincluding starshipsvirtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderfuluntil a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem. . . . Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamiltons Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game. Advance praise for Salvation Peter F. Hamilton smashes through the crazy battlefield of space opera like a giant all-conquering war-robot. His newest is loud, proud, and beyond epic. Accept no substitutes, this is the real deal. You need Salvation, my friend. Everyone needs salvation.Ian McDonald No one offers action-packed, meticulous, suspenseful, and consistent high-tech futures better than Peter Hamilton, and Salvation cranks all of that up five notches.David Brin A gripping novel from one of the modern masters, Salvation is a must-read not just for sci-fi fans but for anyone who loves a great story well told.Jason M. Hough Hamilton knows how to build a world, and hes one of the best in the field at imagining complex societies. Just as important, though, he knows how to populate his future environments with real-seeming people whose lives extend beyond the page. Salvation is a twisty and hugely satisfying SF thriller that opens a portal on a new and exciting series.Alastair Reynolds Peter F. Hamiltons great strength is building rich, complex future societies rooted in our own and slamming with terrible threats, and in Salvation this skill is deployed to great effect. Salvation is space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending that makes the sequel a matter of urgency.Ken MacLeod

This was an interesting mix of science fiction and corporate thriller. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you baby Jesus, my migraine has finally abated to a background ache🙏 I was able to finally finish this brilliant SciFi novel, the 1st in a series set in a not so distant earth where portals have made the universe a much more accessible place & the alien Olyix have given us the ability to be ageless. But when a crashed ship is discovered it raises questions of whether they are all they claim to be. Loved it, can‘t wait for the next book👍

Bk2 of my #MarchBookHaul & #BirthdayBookHaul is the 1st book in the Salvation Sequence. It‘s 2204 & an abandoned alien spaceship is found 90 light years from Earth. When boarded, it‘s found to contain humans in suspension, but humans have never traveled this far out before. How did they get there? Specialists are sent to find out but not all of them can be trusted. Sounds awesome.

This novel weighs in at 500 plus pages, containing intricate world-building, multiple timelines, a wide cast of characters, and stories within the story. As the last page approached, I was completely baffled as to how the book could end and feared a cliffhanger. Instead, my mind was completely blown by how it all came together. I will definitely be looking for the sequel.

Interesting start to a new series by one of my favorite writers. I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like a set up for the rest of the books. Still had lots of cool tech and ideas though.

The plot was good but I did not like the execution. There was no MC. Therefore I had no one to identify with or root for. See my full review on my blog at www.thespineview.com.
