Bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton returns to his acclaimed Commonwealth series in this thrilling follow-up to "The Abyss Beyond Dreams."
Featuring Hamilton s trademark blend of intricate plotting, riveting suspense, high-concept science, and vivid characters, "A" "Night Without Stars" brings the story to a fully satisfying finish.
After centuries trapped inside the Void, the planet Bienvenido along with its inhabitants, both human and Faller has been expelled into normal space. But the survivors are millions of light-years from the Commonwealth, which knows nothing of their existence. As the two races plunge into mortal conflict for sole possession of the planet, the humans seem destined to lose despite the assistance of the mysterious Warrior Angel, who possesses forbidden Commonwealth technology.
The planet of Bienvenido is on its own, isolated from the rest of the universe. And it's waging war against the ruthless Fallers, aliens which have evolved to conquer whole worlds. Kysandra is leading an underground resistance, aided by biological enhancements that give her a crucial edge. But she fears she's fighting a losing battle. This is especially as the government hampers her efforts at every turn, blinded by crippling technophobia and prejudices against enhanced 'Eliter' humans. However, if the resistance and government can't work together, humanity on this planet will face extinction – for the Fallers are organizing a final, decisive invasion. Bienvenido badly needs outside help. But the Commonwealth, with all its technological expertise, has been lost to them for generations. Desperate times will call for desperate measures, or humanity on Bienvenido will not survive.
