Story
The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars some 400 light-years in diameter, contains more than 600 worlds, interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: Over 1,000 light-years away, a star...vanishes. It does not go supernova. It does not collapse into a black hole. It simply disappears.

Story
It's the 21st century, and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too – the companies possess all the best hardware, and they're calling the shots now. In a world like this, a man open to any offers can make out just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who's psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment, carrying state-of-the-art weaponry – and late of the English Army's Mindstar Battalion.

Story
In AD 2600, the human race is finally beginning to realize its full potential. Hundreds of colonized planets scattered across the galaxy host a multitude of prosperous and wildly diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has pushed evolution far beyond nature's boundaries, defeating disease and producing extraordinary spaceborn creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive on the wealth created by the industrialization of entire star systems, and throughout inhabited space the Confederation Navy keeps the peace.

Story
A century from now, thanks to a technology allowing instantaneous travel across light-years, humanity has solved its energy shortages, cleaned up the environment, and created far-flung colony worlds. The keys to this empire belong to the powerful North family - composed of successive generations of clones. Yet these clones are not identical. For one thing, genetic errors have crept in with each generation. For another, the original three clone "brothers" have gone their separate ways, and the branches of the family are now friendly rivals more than allies. Or maybe not so friendly....

Rough Narration

Written by: Alastair Reynolds
Publisher's Summary
In the distant future, corporations have become sustainable communities with their own militaries, and corporate goals have essentially replaced political ideology. On a youthful, rebellious impulse, Lawrence joined the military of a corporation that he now recognizes to be ruthless and exploitative. His only hope for escape is to earn enough money to buy his place in a better corporation. When his platoon is sent to a distant colony to quell a local resistance effort, it seems like a stroke of amazing fortune, and Lawrence plans to rob the colony of their fabled gemstone, the Fallen Dragon, to get the money he needs. However, he soon discovers that the Fallen Dragon is not a gemstone at all but an alien life form that the local colonists have been protecting since it crashed in their area. Now Lawrence has to decide if he will steal the alien to exploit the use of its inherent biotechnical processes - which far exceed anything humans are capable of - or if he will help the Resistance get the alien home.

Interesting, but a little confusing at times.
I want to preface by saying PFH is one of my favourite authors. With most PFH books, in my opinion his greatest strength is also his greatest flaw. He knows how to build a world and go into great detail, but at times I found a few subplots he is included to be pointless and forgettable. Maybe his work is just not meant to be read as an audiobook, but John Lee is my favourite narrator so I’m conflicted.
This was a cool story and a lot of interesting ideas, but it was a little anticlimactic. I felt like it jumped around quite a bit and I only knew what was going on half of the time. Likeable antagonist though.

hints of old man's war
great book! peters mastery of the grand scope spanning millions of years and the smaller character stories are just a wonder. The stories are never what you think they are.

If you like Peter Hamilton’s books - this one is excellent
His books are long. That’s fine by me but may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The story is very good and characters relatable. I’m glad I picked this one up and I’m still thinking about the themes of the book days after finishing it. Give it a try if the length of the book doesn’t scare you away.

this story is top 10 of the worst I've ever heard.
first it's poorly written. In a way that it actually gets progressively worse the more you invest time listening to it. Going back and forth in timelines was wasted effort and actually made the experience worse because of the narrative jet lag i suffered every chapter.
why do characters swith morals and intelligences whenever it convenient for the writer to move on to the next exposition hour. The main character is less a person with human emotions and more like 3 roosters in a trench coat. they're always simultaneously a genius and idiot when the narrative suit. ppl don't care about their actions, they don't reflect or GROW they don't show much human emotions at all. There a coldness you feel, a distinct separation in humility in the way they were written. it feels like spite
Third narrative drop of several times with care or warning and are never picked up again. it's like the author doesn't want me to care about the book.
these problems cumulate in a bad bad end , that get catastrophically worse the more you analyze it. don't waste the cred

A true anti-hero
At first I thought I didn't like this book very much. Then I realized it was the protagonist I disliked. He's a jerk, entitled, and wrong on so many levels.
I marked this as a coming-of-age story. The fact it took him 20+ years is not a mark in his favor. I do not feel he deserves a mulligan.

Pretty good a bit drawn out
A character focused story that meanders for most of its length but hamiltons writing Carrie’s it. Overall a bit slow but a good listen.
