Summary
Will they find the utopian dream – or a galactic nightmare? From Peter F. Hamilton, The Dreaming Void is the first in an epic space opera trilogy. Set in his expansive Commonwealth universe, it is perfect for fans of Iain M. Banks and Stephen Baxter.
AD 3580. The Commonwealth has spread its civilization throughout the galaxy. Its citizens are privileged and protected by a powerful navy. And at the galaxy’s centre is the Void, a sealed universe created by aliens billions of years ago. Yet the Void isn’t inert. It’s expanding – and now it wants to make contact.
The Void chooses Inigo as its conduit and he channels dreams of a simpler, better life within its bounds. His visions attract followers – determined to seek this utopia. And they’ll cross the Void’s forbidden boundaries to reach it. However, this act could trigger push it to grow beyond all control . . . destroying everything in its path.
The Dreaming Void is followed by The Temporal Void in this stunning trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton.

Peter F. Hamilton crafts amazing stories
Wow, so enjoyed this.
Multiple worlds and characters that in a way could be unconnected. But I know in the end will be all connected together.
Love the way also new characters mix with older characters from previous book.
Amaze-balls.

Promising continuation of a great saga
Any additional comments?
Voices of some of the original characters grated with me. Prefer the original series narrator.

'Read' them in order
What did you like most about The Dreaming Void?
Follows on in a universe and using characters created in Pandoras Star and Judas Unchained. Epic stuff!
Would you listen to another book narrated by Toby Longworth?
Toby is ok but John read the first two and the next two after this. I would have preferred him there for the entire series. Oliver Monroe may have been from Tennessee but John didn't read it that way and to suddenly have to deal with a character that had apparently acquired the accent of a lesser educated individual from a cotton picking region was strange. Likewise with Paula Myo.
Kudos to Peter F. The story is great!

Good book, poor performance
I'm a big fan of Peter F. Hamilton, this is one of his more easily started books that become gripped much faster than some of his earlier books. However, the Narration is really, really bad. I think this is the only book narrated by Toby Longworth I've come across but I will be avoiding him in the future.

Excellent story, Excellent Narration and Quality
If you could sum up The Dreaming Void in three words, what would they be?
A Gripping Adventure
What other book might you compare The Dreaming Void to, and why?
Not sure I can. This is unique to me.
Have you listened to any of Toby Longworth’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, But it is excellent. You can always tell which character is who.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The "dreams of innago" were always thrilling.

Enjoyed it but..
Was not really my cup of tea. However it wasn't bad. The underlying ideas gave me some food for thought.

Yet another great trilogy !
If you could sum up The Dreaming Void in three words, what would they be?
Exciting, descriptive and in grossing.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Which one to choose ! I think for me it would be Inigo the main character. He has a certain type of innocence, his feeling of awkwardness around other people.
What does Toby Longworth bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The accents of the many characters. And the many characters that are easy to get to know.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Inigo and his feelings of awkwardness in normal clothes rather than his space suit that gives him familiarity and comfort.
Any additional comments?
Another brilliant trilogy, I can't wait to listen to the next !
