Publisher Description
The Dreaming Void is the first novel in Peter F. Hamilton's epic Void Trilogy, set in the world of the Commonwealth Saga.
The Void: a sealed universe, billions of years old. Alive, its expansion is barely contained. Now it wants to make contact.
Inigo channels mysterious dreams of an unlikely hero, a simpler life and a hope for a brighter future - on a world that's not his own.
His disaffected followers are determined to seek this utopia and cross the forbidden boundary of the Void to reach it. Unaware that such an act could trigger its growth beyond all control . . . destroying everything in its path.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the tradition of grand-scale SF sagas that explore the potential of human evolution, this densely plotted and intensely thought-provoking opener for Hamilton's Void trilogy takes place roughly 1,000 years after the events of 2006's Judas Unchained. Humankind in the 34th century has effectively conquered mortality, but many humans are still searching for existential transcendence, and a growing number believe the answer can be found inside the Void at the galactic center. Once thought to be an enormous black hole, the Void, which supposedly contains an entire micro-universe inside an impenetrable event horizon, slowly devours stars to sustain itself. If left unchecked, it will eventually consume the entire galaxy. When the technologically augmented telepath Inigo begins experiencing revelatory dreams, his shared visions ignite a mass pilgrimage to the Void, which some believe will trigger the apocalypse. Readers can expect big ideas and big story lines as well as big cliffhangers at the novel's conclusion.

I loved every page, every character, every twist.
I really enjoyed the way the chapters were laid out too, it was interesting all the way through.
It was the fastest thousand+ page book I have ever read, I almost turned right back to the start to read it again! It was only the fact that I knew there was a second book that I didn't.
Oh dear, I am dreading the time when I get to the end of the series...
Really good read
This is the first book in a long time that I have found hard to put down.
