Product Description

The Reality Dysfunction and The Neutronium Alchemist chronicled an epic, far-future struggle set in a universe of thrilling complexity. Multiple worlds, alien races, two types of future humanity, and uncountable forms of fascinating future technology make up the universe created by Peter F. Hamilton. The "reality dysfunction" is a break in the fabric of reality that allows the dead to return to our world, where they possess living bodies. Gradually, it becomes horrifyingly clear that all of humanity is at risk of being taken over by the minds of those long dead. More and more of the dead are stealing the bodies of those still living, grouping together into powerful consortiums led by leaders from history. Opposing this development is an increasingly desperate Confederation Navy. Joshua Calvert is assigned to chase after Alkad Mzu, who is trying to recover the "doomsday weapon" that might possibly blast the dead back into oblivion. Mzu is hunted not only by Joshua, but also by various intelligence agencies and the possessed themselves, all of whom are desperate to lay hands on the weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Review, March 24, 2008

By	Redmaw (Toledo) - See all my reviews

Very impressed with this Kindle release, well organized with an easy to use table of contents. The story itself is still amazing ten years later and now I don't need to carry around 3 HUGE hardcovers. One of the best values on Amazon, less than $8 for several thousand pages of epic space opera. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night's Dawn- Foundation, Dune, and the Hobbit all in one, May 7, 2004

By	"abrown470" (Middletown, DE, USA) - See all my reviews

I picked up this book in a hotel where someone had left it and I was bored. After reading it, I promptly hunted down and purchased the rest of the series. It has all of the excellent plot of Isaac Asimov, but also expands upon the universe it is in, like Tolkien. Peter F. Hamilton gave me what I craved- a new and original idea, like possession and the affinity gene, with a universe to go with it, like the Confederation, that included Earth, unlike Dune, but still with a plot. And it gave it all to me. It gives an idea of a new culture-but keeps the old one alive. It takes archaic ideas-but puts them in a futuristic setting without it being cheesy. The Night's Dawn trilogy delivers on many levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Principles of Reality, May 13, 2002

By	Adam J. Payne "Pharma Exec" (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have you ever decided to seriously examine the implications of whether or not a soul exists and what happens to the soul after it leaves the body? This is the scientific journey that takes you to that place where one such dimension of this idea is explored on a cosmic scale. Not only is this "trilogy" a great read but it keeps you going with all of the lines of expansive thought explored and intertwinned.
This book took up 19,000 pages on my IPaq - It kept me going through a 10 day vacation and made me an anti-social animal for at least 10 other days.
If you enjoy exploring the implications of a simple thought - the soul - this is the book to read.
