Salvation: A Novel (The Salvation Sequence)

<b>Humanity’s complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series from “the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction” (Ken Follett).</b><br> <b> </b><br> In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation—including starships—virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderful—until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate.  But one of them may not be all they seem. . . .<br><br> Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamilton’s <i>Salvation</i> is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.<br><b><br>Praise for <i>Salvation</i></b><br><br>“Dynamic, multifaceted characters, strong mind-expanding concepts, and impressive flair for language [make <i>Salvation</i> a] rare celestial event. . . .
