Earning comparisons to such sci-fi/fantasy greats as Frank Herbert,
Isaac Asimov, and George R. R. Martin, Peter F. Hamilton is a
one-of-a-kind voice in space opera. His interstellar adventures are
hugely ambitious, wildly entertaining, and philosophically
stimulating. Now Hamilton’s centuries-spanning Commonwealth
Saga—the linked novels Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained—is
available in one epic eBook bundle. Contains a thrilling preview of
Peter F. Hamilton’s upcoming novel, The Abyss Beyond Dreams, set in
the same universe as the Commonwealth Saga. PANDORA’S STAR JUDAS
UNCHAINED 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars,
contains more than six hundred 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
one thousand light-years away, a star . . . disappears. Since the
location is too distant to reach by wormhole, the Second Chance, a
faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime, a
five-times-rejuvenated ex-NASA pilot, is dispatched to learn what has
occurred and whether it represents a threat. Opposed to the mission
are the Guardians of Selfhood. Shortly after the journey begins, Kime
wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But
soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy,
something truly incredible is waiting: a deadly discovery whose
unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . . and
humanity itself. Praise for the Commonwealth Saga Pandora’s
Star “Should be high on everyone’s reading list . . . You
won’t be able to put it down.”—Nancy Pearl, NPR “An
imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a
book of epic proportions not unlike Frank Herbert’s Dune or Isaac
Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.”—SFRevu “Recommended . . . A
large cast of characters, each with his own story, brings depth and
variety to this far-future saga.”—Library Journal Judas
Unchained “An interstellar suspense thriller . . . sweeping in
scope and emotional range.”—San Antonio Express-News
“Hamilton tackles SF the way George R. R. Martin is tackling
fantasy. . . . There’s a sense of wonder here that’s truly
unchained.”—SF Reviews “Richly satisfying . . . wonderfully
imagined . . . Hamilton adroitly leaps from the struggles of one
engaging, quirky character to another.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
