Pandora's Star is the first part of Hamilton's epic Commonwealth Saga duology – a fantastic galaxy-spanning novel from the master of space opera.
At the edge of the galaxy something awakens – and it's coming for us . . .
Earth AD 2329: Humanity has colonized over four hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. For the first time in mankind's history there is peace. Then a star over a thousand light years away suddenly vanishes, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size. Yet who – or what – has that sort of technology? And what could this mean for us? Only a faster-than-light starship, captained by ex-NASA astronaut Wilson Kime, can reach that distance to investigate.
However, what if there was a very good reason to seal off an entire star system? Also, getting in could prove easier than the worst possible outcome – stopping something else from getting out.
The Commonwealth Saga duology concludes with Judas Unchained.

Zeker een aanrader om in het Engels te horen. De voorlezer gebruikt verschillende intonatie en maakt het luisteren erg prettig. Het boek zelf is heel spannend met een goede opbouw van het verhaal. Wel veel verschillende personages waarbij je soms even moet zoeken wie het nog maar weer was maar het wordt erg subtiel en goed aan elkaar geknoopt. 100 aanrader
