All the best in humanity rises to meet a powerful alien threat in the sequel to Salvation—part of an all-new trilogy from “the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction” (Ken Follett). The comparative utopia of twenty-third-century Earth is about to go dreadfully awry when a seemingly benign alien race is abruptly revealed to be one of the worst threats humanity has ever faced. Driven by an intense religious extremism, the Olyix are determined to bring everyone to their version of God as they see it. But they may have met their match in humanity, who are not about to go gently into that good night or spend the rest of their days cowering in hiding. As human ingenuity and determination rise to the challenge, collective humanity has only one goal—to wipe this apparently undefeatable enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means playing a ridiculously long game indeed.But in a chaotic universe, it is hard to plan for every eventuality, and it is always darkest before the dawn.

"It took me a little bit to get into this book (and I confess I went back and reread the last couple chapters of Salvation, then dove back in), but once I did it was worth the journey.<br/><br/>I was actually between a 3 and 4 star on this one, it very much felt like a middle book, starting on a severe cliffhanger and finishing on one, but the world building is what clinched it for me. Peter Hamilton loves portals. They are in all of his books, and how the Human civilizations has evolved because of them was very very cool to see. One thing that did need a little more detail to it is the "future forward" generation. The characters aren't memorable, and I wasn't as enthralled as the "Saints" as they would later be known. Looking forward to the third book!"
