Salvation Summary

Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton

Salvation is the first title in a stunning science fiction trilogy, the Salvation Sequence, by Peter F. Hamilton. For fans of Iain M. Banks and Dan Simmons.

Know your enemy - or be defeated.

AD 2204
An alien shipwreck is discovered on a planet at the very limits of human expansion - so Security Director Feriton Kayne selects a team to investigate. The ship's sinister cargo not only raises bewildering questions, but could also foreshadow humanity's extinction. It will be up to the team to bring back answers, and the consequences of this voyage will change everything.

Back on Earth, we can now make deserts bloom and extend lifespans indefinitely. Humanity seems invulnerable. We therefore welcomed the Olyix to Earth when they contacted us. They needed fuel for their pilgrimage across the galaxy - and in exchange they helped us advance our technology. But were the Olyix a blessing or a curse?

THE FAR FUTURE
Many lightyears from Earth, Dellian and his clan of genetically engineered soldiers are raised with one goal. They must confront and destroy their ancient adversary. The enemy that caused mankind to flee across the galaxy and that hunts us still. If they aren't stopped, we will be wiped out - and we're running out of time.

Continue the SF thrills with Salvation Lost and The Saints of Salvation.

'A space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending that makes the sequel a matter of urgency' - Ken MacLeod, author of The Sky Road

Salvation 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 series -- Alastair Reynolds author of Revelation Space
Explosions! 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 salvation -- Ian McDonald author of New Moon
Salvation is a space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending that makes the sequel a matter of urgency -- Ken MacLeod author of Cosmonaut Keep
The 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 hands -- Justina Robson author of Keeping It Real
No one offers action-packed, meticulous, suspenseful and consistent hi-tech futures better than Peter Hamilton, and Salvation cranks all of that up five notches -- David Brin author of Sundiver
Peter takes the word 'epic', then retools and turbocharges it. He is the go-to guy for spectacular science fiction -- Michael Cobley author of The Seeds of Earth
The owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction -- Ken Follett author of The Pillars of the Earth
A thoroughly enjoyable read -- Neal Asher author of Gridlinked
Hamilton handles massive ideas with enviable ease * Guardian *
Hugely impressive. We've said it before but let's say it again: nobody does BIG SF quite like Hamilton -- SFX on Peter's books
A startlingly fresh, vigorous and original cosmic saga. Highly enjoyable! -- Stephen Baxter author of Time
Exciting, wildly imaginative and quite possibly Hamilton's best book to date -- SFX Magazine, 5 stars
A vast, intricate sci-fi showstopper... the journey grips as hard as the reveal * Daily Mail *
How far 'space opera' has gone! * Wall Street Journal *
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 * Locus *
