Salvation

by Peter F. Hamilton Narrated by John Lee

Overview

In 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. And 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, Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.

Narrator John Lee takes the reins of a sprawling space opera filled with diverse characters and intense worldbuilding. In the near future, humanity spans the galaxy, thanks to a transportation technology that makes all others obsolete: jump gates. Multiple storylines involve a mysterious spaceship, an alien race, and “post-humans.” Lee tackles every character with surprising variation, including accent, tone, inflection, and more. However, the narration struggles with increasing plot stagnation, as this is obviously a prelude to a much larger series. Lee complements the slow story well with a lively narration and subtle humor while adapting to each section's different mood. The result is a promising start to a new series featuring a narrator at the top of his game. J.M.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
