A Quantum Murder is the thrilling second book in Peter F. Hamilton''s incredibly successful Greg Mandel series. Dr Edward Kitchener was a brilliant researcher into quantum cosmology . . . but he''s found dead, lungs spread on either side of his open chest. His employers, Event Horizon, now want to know what happened - and fast. Many were anxious to stop Kitchener''s work, and could have paid an assassin''s fee. And only a mercenary could''ve breached Launde Abbey''s premier-grade security system. Yet why would a professional waste time ritually slaughtering the target? Greg Mandel, psi-boosted ex-private eye, is enticed out of retirement to track the killer. He launches himself on a convoluted trail which will mean confronting the past. But - according to Kitchener''s theories - this past might never have happened. A Quantum Murder is followed by The Nano Flower to complete the Greg Mandel trilogy.

Humanity rises to meet a powerful alien threat, in this extraordinary sequel to Peter F. Hamilton''s Salvation . This is a high-octane adventure from ''the most powerful imagination in science fiction'' (Ken Follett). Fight together - or die alone . . . In the twenty-third century, humanity is enjoying a comparative utopia. Yet life on Earth is about to change, forever. Feriton Kane''s investigative team has discovered the worst threat ever to face mankind - and we''ve almost no time to fight back. The supposedly benign Olyix plan to harvest humanity, in order to carry us to their god at the end of the universe. And as their agents conclude schemes down on earth, vast warships converge above to gather this cargo. Some factions push for humanity to flee, to live in hiding amongst the stars - although only a chosen few would make it out in time. But others refuse to break before the storm. As disaster looms, animosities must be set aside to focus on just one goal: wiping this enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means preparing for a future this generation will never see. Salvation Lost is the second book in the Salvation Sequence by Peter F. Hamilton ''Everything readers of Salvation will have hoped for. A series emerging as a modern classic'' - Stephen Baxter ''Brilliant and compelling. A masterclass in tension and spectacle'' - Gareth L. Powell

The first volume in the Chronicles of the Fallers, The Abyss Beyond Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton is an exceptional novel exploring the mystery at the heart of the Commonwealth Universe. To save their civilization he must destroy it . . . When images of a lost civilization are ''dreamed'' by a self-proclaimed prophet of the age, Nigel Sheldon, inventor of wormhole technology and creator of the Commonwealth society, is asked to investigate. Especially as the dreams seem to be coming from the Void - a mysterious area of living space monitored and controlled because of its hugely destructive capabilities. With it being the greatest threat to the known universe, Nigel is committed to finding out what really lies within the Void and if there''s any truth to the visions they''ve received. Does human life really exist inside its boundary? But when Nigel crash-lands inside the Void, on a planet he didn''t even know existed, he finds so much more than he expected. Bienvenido: a world populated by the ancestors of survivors from Commonwealth colony ships that disappeared centuries ago. Since then they''ve been fighting an increasingly desperate battle against the Fallers, a space-born predator artificially evolved to conquer worlds. Their sole purpose is to commit genocide against every species they encounter. With their powerful telepathic lure - that tempts any who stray across their path to a slow and painful death - they are by far the greatest threat to humanity''s continued existence on this planet. But Nigel soon realizes that the Fallers also hold the key to something he''d never hoped to find - the destruction of the Void itself. If only he can survive long enough to work out how to use it . . . Continue the adventure with the second in the duology, Night Without Stars .
