Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland in 1960 and now lives in Somerset. He began writing in 1987, and sold his first short story to Fear magazine in 1988. He has written many bestselling novels, including the Greg Mandel series, the Night's Dawn trilogy, the Commonwealth Saga, the Void trilogy, The Chronicle of the Fallers, short story collections and several standalone novels including Fallen Dragon and Great North Road.
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 in Salvation. Just as importantly, though, he
knows how to populate his future environments with real-seeming
people whose lives extend beyond the page. Salvation is a twisty
and hugely satisfying SF thriller that opens a portal on a new and
exciting series
*Alastair Reynolds*
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*
Salvation is a space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending
that makes the sequel a matter of urgency
*Ken MacLeod*
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*
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*
Peter takes the word 'epic', then retools and turbocharges it. He
is the go-to guy for spectacular science fiction
*Michael Cobley*
The owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction
*Ken Follett*
A thoroughly enjoyable read
*Neal Asher*
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*
Exciting, wildly imaginative and quite possibly Hamilton’s best
book to date
*SFX Magazine, 5 stars*
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*
A vast, intricate sci-fi showstopper... the journey grips as hard
as the reveal
*Daily Mail*
