About this ebook
They could find a bright future . . . or the end of everything. From Peter F. Hamilton, The Evolutionary Void is the startling conclusion to the Void trilogy, set in the world of the Commonwealth Saga.
Millions of Leaving Dream pilgrims have boarded ships, and are speeding towards the Void at the centre of the galaxy. They are chasing their dream – and expect to find paradise. Yet breaching the Void will trigger its expansion, destroying everything in its path.
Paula Myo is desperate to find Void’s latest prophet – Second Dreamer Araminta. As without her, the ships can’t enter the Void. But when Araminta finally chooses her path, it will change things in ways no one could have imagined. And within the Void, Edeard realizes the price of peace may be too high. However, what will this mean for the pilgrims – and the galaxy beyond?

Like the previous 2 books this is an overinflated beach ball trying to be a football. It's a desperate finale that collapses under its own unnecessary subplots. Edeard’s arc loops through endless déjà-vu resets, every “evolution” is a retread. Commonwealth threads drown in committee meetings and dream-logging. Prose yawn-worthy, dialogue robotic, pacing as slow as previous books; “twists” predictable. The cosmic payoff is a hand-wavy shrug. Seriously, skip the whole trilogy—read a synopsis.

Have loved this trilogy. First time I have read proper science fiction. Imaginative, visionary, something to lose yourself in.

Definitely preferred the Commonwealth saga (Pandora's star & Juda's unchained)
