Peter F. Hamilton
With refreshing determination and hopeful grit, humanity activates a bold endgame against an alien invasion in the finale of a series heralded as “a modern classic” (Stephen Baxter) from “one of the finest writers the genre has produced” (Gareth L. Powell).Humanity is struggling to hold out against a hostile takeover by an alien race that claims to be on a religious mission to bring all sentient life to its God at the End of Time. But while billions of cocooned humans fill the holds of the Olyix’s deadly arkships, humankind is playing an even longer game than the aliens may have anticipated. From an ultra-secret spy mission to one of the grandest battles ever seen, no strategy is off the table. Will a plan millennia in the making finally be enough to defeat this seemingly unstoppable enemy? And what secrets are the Olyix truly hiding in their most zealously protected stronghold? With his trademark optimism about humanity’s tenacity and capacity for greatness, Peter F. Hamilton wraps up this brilliant saga with a bang—and reminds us why freedom of choice is the most important freedom there is.

"What an awesome conclusion. In Salvation Lost, I kept finding myself confused with the timelines, which characters lived in which universes, and who was related. The Saints really pulled it together nicely, leading to a final battle that was absolutely breathtaking.<br/><br/>I love the Pseudoscience behind all of Peter Hamiliton's writing, the concepts he has created both out of portals (The Portal missiles) as well as the Time bubbles were just an absolute treat to read about. I think the only reason I would give this a 4 vs a 5 is I felt he played it too safe with the main characters. This was an intergalactic war, and casualties seemed pretty light to me in terms of his characters."
