Pandora's Star is the first part of Peter F. Hamilton's epic Commonwealth Saga duology - a fantastic galaxy-spanning novel from the master of space opera. For fans of Iain M. Banks and Alastair Reynolds.
At the edge of the galaxy something awakens - and it's coming for us . . .
Earth AD 2329: Humanity has colonized over four hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. For the first time in mankind's history there is peace. Then a star over a thousand light years away suddenly vanishes, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size. Yet who - or what - has that sort of technology? And what could this mean for us? Only a faster-than-light starship, captained by ex-NASA astronaut Wilson Kime, can reach that distance to investigate.
For Wilson, getting inside the force field could be easy. It may be harder to stop something else from getting out.
What if there was a very good reason to seal off an entire star system?
The Commonwealth Saga duology concludes with Judas Unchained.
