"How far 'space opera' has come! The Old Masters of sci-fi would admire
the scope and sweep of Salvation."--The Wall Street Journal

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.
. . .
Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamilton's Salvation is
the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of
an author at the top of his game.

Praise for Salvation**
"[A] vast, intricate sci-fi showstopper . . . The journey grips just
as hard as the reveal."--Daily Mail (U.K.)
"Exciting, wildly imaginative and quite possibly Hamilton's best book to
date."--SFX
"Dynamic, multifaceted characters, strong mind-expanding concepts, and
impressive flair for language [make Salvation a] rare celestial
event. . . . One of Britain's bestselling sci-fi authors has launched an
addictive new book as the initial stage of what is sure to be an
intriguing new series called the Salvation Sequence."--SyFyWire
"Peter Hamilton just keeps getting better and better with each book,
more assured and more craftsmanly adroit, and more inventive.
[Salvation is] a bravura performance from start to finish. . . .
Hamilton is juggling chainsaws while simultaneously doing needlepoint
over a shark tank. It's a virtuoso treat, and I for one can hardly wait
for Salvation Lost."--Paul Di Filippo, Locus
"Peter F. Hamilton is known as one of the world's greatest sci-fi
writers for a reason. . . . Salvation is well worth the effort and a
great introduction to some good old-fashioned space opera."--Fantasy
