'A GENUINE TREAT FOR SF FANS: AN EPIC MULTIVERSE TALE THAT MOVES LIKE A THRILLER' Kirkus

'A FASCINATING WINDOW ONTO A DANGEROUS AND MULTIFACETED UNIVERSE' Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time

From the international bestselling M. R. Carey comes a thrilling novel set in the multiverse - the tale of humanity's expansion across millions of dimensions, and the AI technology that might see it all come to an end . . .

INFINITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds - except that they're really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an AI threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they'll eradicate it by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost to human life.

Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth's environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel. It could save everyone on her dying planet, but now she's walked into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of.

And she needs to choose a side before it kills her.

Discover the spectacular first novel in The Pandominion - an exhilarating new science fiction duology from the author of the million-copy bestseller The Girl With All the Gifts. Perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds, The Long Earth and Children of Time.

The over use of the " pronoun " ET inparts of the story was a bit annoying

A really fantastical story constructed in a way to make it completely believable with great characters throughout

It’s a cliche I know but I could not put this book down. It’s the best book I’ve read for a very long time it’s exactly what I was looking for in the book characters are so memorable I remembered everyone’s name and there are a lot of them. The narration makes an audiobook and this narration is superb. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Best book, I’ve read for a very long time

I really enjoyed listening to this on Audible. It's a fun, fast paced and interesting "space opera" that doesn't take place in space rather across the multiverse. This is an adventure with high stakes, war, advanced technology and diverse "selves" that account for the dominant sentient species across the permutations of possible Earth's.

What really stood out were the main characters & setting centered on Lagos Nigeria (of all places) and all it's alternates, the book opens with a female Nigerian Scientist Hadiz Tamberwell who stumbles across technology that allows her "step" into different universes, it then opens up from there into a startling narrative that takes us to alternate earth's one with sentient bunny rabbits who stand in as the "sentient selves" in a parallel Earth called Ut and augmented shock troopers who act as the mercenaries for the multidimensional empire that is the Pandominion.

The story asks questions about the meaning of sentience; Is an AI alive? Is true life isolated to organic life alone? Can life persist in machines? What happens when machine intelligence & organic intelligence intersect & overlap?

I can't wait for part 2, this was a lot of fun.

A competent & insightful take on the Multiverse
