About this ebook
In this incredible sequel to Pandora's Star, the Commonwealth Saga goes out with a bang. Judas Unchained is a stunning, expansive space opera from one of the world's bestselling science fiction writers, Peter F. Hamilton.
Our worlds are under invasion – and only the impossible can save us now . . .
Over hundreds of years, the human race has been manipulated into starting a war. And it's one that could destroy our entire civilization. Chief Investigator Paula Myo is nominated to hunt the creature behind this ploy, while our invasion continues and multiple worlds fall to the enemy. In response, Admiral Kime commands humanity's defense, marshaling war-ready super-weapons. Yet he discovers his adversaries wield equally powerful armaments.
The question is – where did these come from? Has the Commonwealth's top-secret defense project been compromised, or is the truth even worse than we can imagine?
The Commonwealth Saga duology starts with Pandora's Star.
'If Pandora’s Star represented a return to form, Judas Unchained is even better' - Guardian

Lots of good ideas but massively padded out towards the end. Which was a shame as I enjoyed the first book. Only sort of finished due to time already committed to reading.

Hamilton writes a decent story and has an accessible, visual style. For me though, his writing is marred by his championing of rampant right wing politics, patriarchal ( and patronising) industrialists and grating stereotypical characterisations of working class people. I'm afraid he's off limits for me.

This was the first big science-fiction story I've read, and what a great choice it was. Have previously read short stories from Peter.F.Hamilton, this was very different. I was sucked in to the universe very quickly. So many great characters, locations and stories. Look forward to starting another book from the author.
