À propos de cet audio
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.

When a coordinated EMP attack takes out the nation’s power grid, a small town finds itself at ground zero of an all-out Russian invasion. With limited options and no time to prepare, the citizens have no choice but to turn to a mysterious drifter, Jack Bunker, for help. The former combat engineer has the skills to keep them alive, but he won’t be able to do it alone, not against an overwhelmingly superior force.

When the over-driven hyperdrive on their mobile shipyard burned out, the Chhrt'ktk't abandoned it in an inhabited system along their path, hoping it would work as a decoy to buy them more time to escape the Khreetan fleet pursuing them. They didn't anticipate how far the pre-spacefaring species they turned over their broken-down maintenance facility to would subvert their plan.

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

The galaxy remembers Hadrian Marlowe as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives - even the emperor himself - against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
