Resumen del Editor

Earth is falling. Will our call for help be heard? The Saints of Salvation is the extraordinary conclusion to Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation Sequence: a high-octane adventure from a master of the genre.

Live in hiding – or die for freedom

Humanity welcomed the Olyix and their utopian technology. But mankind was tricked. Now these visitors are extracting a terrible price.

For two years, the Olyix have laid siege to Earth, harvesting its people for their god. One by one, cities are crumbling beneath their devastating weaponry. And while millions have fled to seek refuge in space, others continue to fight an apparently unwinnable war.

As Earth's defeat draws near, a team attempts to infiltrate the Salvation of Life – the Olyix’s arkship. If it succeeds, those chosen will travel to a hidden enclave thousands of light years away. Once there, they must signal its location to future generations, to bring the battle to the enemy. Maybe allies scattered throughout space and time can join forces. Yet in the far future, humanity are still hunted by their ancient adversary. And as forces battle on in the cold reaches of space, hope seems distant indeed . . .

The Saints of Salvation is the third and final book in the Salvation Sequence by Peter F. Hamilton.

'A stirring finale' – Guardian

'It delivers on every level' – Daily Mail

the crown of an exceptional series

some very very interesting ideas about the future inside. i thoroughly enjoyed. i hope Hamilton writes more books

A nice wrap to this Trilogy

Peter, as always, neatly wraps up this for the salvation series.

Now eager for the next series, which I assume will be called, Sanctuary

loved it

How can you not enjoy this trilogy, awsome end to the series. I think I have read them all now

This is the actual story

I did not enjoy the first two books very much. Plodding through, it is now clear that mr Hamilton needs a better editor. This book contains the actual story and the contents of books one and two should have been condensed into perhaps a hundred or so pages at the beginning of this book. The whole London arc could have been cut without much loss.

So I liked this book. However, at some points I found that crucial events occurred with very little telling, which is a problem when listening as the world around you sometimes cause loss of focus. I’ll need to listen to it again (or perhaps read it) to understand how a couple of sequences came about.

John Lee does a good job, but as usual his inflection and tone seem weird at times, at least to me as a foreigner. I don’t experience that with other readers.

Phenomenonal vision

Another fantastic series from one who has become my favorite author! I recommend this all who love science fiction, but to those who enjoy complex and visionary ideas!

aliens attack EastEnders

it's hard to feel that galaxy traversing space opera vibe you usually get from Peter Hamilton when everyone sounds like they belong on EastEnders.
