A Night Without Stars: A Novel of the Commonwealth (Commonwealth: Chronicle of the Fallers)

Bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton returns to his acclaimed Commonwealth series in this thrilling follow-up to The Abyss Beyond Dreams. Featuring Hamiltonâ€™s trademark blend of intricate plotting, riveting suspense, high-concept science, and vivid characters, A Night Without Stars brings the story to a fully satisfying finish.
Â
After centuries trapped inside the Void, the planet Bienvenidoâ€”along with its inhabitants, both human and Fallerâ€”has been expelled into normal space. But the survivors are millions of light-years from the Commonwealth, which knows nothing of their existence. As the two races plunge into mortal conflict for sole possession of the planet, the humans seem destined to loseâ€”despite the assistance of the mysterious Warrior Angel, who possesses forbidden Commonwealth technology.

With the Fallersâ€™ numbers growing, and their ability to mimic humans allowing them to infiltrate all levels of society, itâ€™s only a matter of time before they surge to victory. Then, on a routine space flight, Major Ry Evine inadvertently frees a captive vessel that crash-lands on Bienvenido carrying the last, best hope for human survival: a baby. But a far from ordinary one.

The child not only ages at a remarkable rate but demonstrates knowledge and abilities far beyond those of Bienvenidoâ€™s humans. Hunted by Fallers and humans alike, she is a crucial link to humanityâ€™s lost pastâ€”and a glorious future already almost out of reach.
