Review

“A gripping story, with the fates of two universes at stake.”—SF Site
 
“Fusing elements of hard SF with adventure fantasy tropes, Hamilton has singlehandedly raised the bar for grand-scale speculative storytelling.”—Publishers Weekly
 
“A great, sprawling, ripping yarn reminiscent of Golden Age Science Fiction.”—SF Crowsnest

Product Description

Long ago, the astrophysicist Inigo began dreaming scenes from the life of the remarkable Edeard, who lived within the Void, a self-contained microuniverse at the heart of the galaxy. Inigo’s inspirational dreams, shared by hundreds of millions throughout the galaxy, gave birth to a religion: Living Dream. But when the appearance of a Second Dreamer seems to trigger the expansion of the Void—which is devouring everything in its path—the Intersolar Commonwealth is thrown into turmoil.

With time running out, the fate of humanity hinges on a handful of people: Araminta, now awakening to the unwelcome fact that she is the mysterious Second Dreamer; Inigo, whose private dreams hint at a darker truth; and Justine, whose desperate gamble places her within the Void, where the godlike Skylords hold the power to save the universe . . . or destroy it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 awesome read, Déc 29 2009
Par Angela (Duncan, BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Temporal Void (Hardcover)
This series captivated both my husband's and my own imagination. We both read Hamilton's other Commonwealth series and loved it. However, I think I like the Void series slightly better. The fantasy elements of this series are the best part. It reminds me of Modesitt's works and Dan Simmon's Hyperion + some great Sci Fi. I can't wait for Evolutionary Void to come out.

2.0étoiles sur 5 A Hamilton novel in name only, Oct. 26 2009
Par Jim (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Temporal Void (Hardcover)
I think Hamilton is an awesome sci-fi writer for two reasons: 1) his ability to imagine future technologies and work out their social, political, and philosophical implications makes his books deep, exciting, and original; and 2) his ability to develop and interweave multiple story lines and characters makes his books rich and compelling. Sadly, a quintessential Hamilton novel The Temporal Void is not.

Heres how I imagine his concept meeting with his editor at Del Rey going before writing the Void trilogy:

Hamilton: I want to try writing a fantasy novel.

Editor: <long pause> Ah, Peter, youre a great sci-fi novelist, and people love your work. Why not stick to what you know?

Hamilton: But, I just finished reading Harry Potter, and....

Editor: Why not write a sequel to the Commonwealth Saga! Judas Unchained  now that was great stuff.

Undeterred and unwilling to give up his dream of writing fantasy, the cunning Hamilton devises the Void trilogy, and what we are left with is a series of books that alternative every chapter between fantasy and sci-fi. Now, the sci-fi portions of the trilogy are well conceived and would be up to Hamiltons usual standard if he took the time to flush them out  love it or hate it, Hamiltons style is such that he requires many words to develop his stories. However, the fantasy portion of this series is predictable and misfires badly.

First, the fantasy storyline lacks Hamiltons characteristic originality. It takes the form of a coming-of-age-story where a super-powerful apprentice loses everything and travels to the capital of his world where, through his aforementioned powers and incorruptible character, he changes society. Sound familiar? Also, I should mention that everyone in the fantasy world has psychic powers; however, this set up doesnt allow for the technological creativity and exploration of ideas Hamilton displays in his sci-fi work. Second, the fantasy storyline is told as a dream experienced through only one characters perspective. The result is that we dont see the blending of story lines and well-developed characters that is Hamiltons trademark. Instead, outside of the main protagonist (who is too squeaky clean to be interesting), the characters are two-dimensional because we never really enter their perspectives. For example, the chief villain is a master of the gangs who operates out of a brothel. Those of you who are familiar with Al Swearengen from Deadwood know how a well-developed character of this type can be the most compelling part of a story. Sadly, we gain no similar insights into Hamiltons villain. These factors combined with stilted dialogue and needlessly meandering narrative makes the fantasy storyline flop.

I am still waiting for the details of the fantasy storyline to become relevant to the sci-fi storyline, beyond the basic revelation that a character from the sci-fi world dreamt the fantasy one, leading to a nonsensical religious movement. Overall, I give the sci-fi portions 4 out of 5. The fantasy portions get 1 out of 5. And because in this book the fantasy portions are longer than the sci-fi ones, the overall work receives 2 out of 5.
