As Araminta, the Second Dreamer, struggles with her decision to accept her responsibilities to the faction known as the Living Dream, the rogue Ilanthe, genetically enhanced leader of the Accelerater faction, continues her quest for absolute dominion through her attempt to enter the Void that lies at the heart of the universe. In an alternate world of dreams, Edeard must make a choice between impossible realities as his power to alter time leads to inescapable consequences. With a large and vibrant cast of characters and an epic plot, Hamilton's latest trilogy (The Dreaming Void; The Temporal Void) comes to a compelling conclusion.
VERDICT The author's mastery of the art of the "big story" earns him a place among the leading authors of dynastic sf. A strong addition to any sf collection.
