About this listen

Across seven original tales from master of science fiction Peter F. Hamilton, Manhattan in Reverse offers captivating glimpses into incredible worlds – with characters old and new.

'Each short story has enough ideas for a whole novel' – Ken Follett, author of The Pillars of the Earth

Following the events of Judas Unchained, Paula Myo returns. In the title story Manhattan in Reverse, the detective is on the case of a species believed to be without sentience – until it attacks the human colonisers. And, in The Demon Trap, Paula is dispatched to investigate a terrorist attack – and a motive that will be hard to unravel. Elsewhere, Watching Trees Grow tells of a murder in an alternative 1800s Oxford, and The Forever Kitten raises questions of eternal youth – and the sacrifices required to pursue it.

With all his usual brilliantly conceived storytelling, Peter F. Hamilton’s talents are on full display in Manhattan in Reverse.

A must for Commonwealth saga readers.
Keep reading to the end to finally find out the connection between The Sheldon's and Inspector Mao. (Didn't see THAT coming!).

Another fantastic (if short) intriguing novel!

first narrator I found to be too flat, lacking the depth of voice which gives the story gravitas.

good but.

As an old-time fan of Peter's work I thought this was the best thing I've heard - not just from him but recently.

A great book that isn't just a collection of stories but mainly related stories mostly set in the same universe of The Reality Dysfunction etc. The first story, Watching Trees Grow, is an expansive story that I knew from some years ago and was a pleasure to hear in audio format and then this book just gets better.

Peter has gone back to his roots and produced quality without the excessivly word pros that, in my opinion, have spoiled his last several books. I suspect most of these stories were written before his current epoch and that explains their compactness but nevertheless well done Peter, please keep this up and publish more like this.

The reading is also really well done with the majority of it being read with passion and a great male voice.

For fans of Peter's work please listen to this and then check out his older works such as Escape Route and the full Night's Dawn Trilogy collection.

Well Done Peter you have come back from the cold

When Enzyme Bonded Concrete is uttered for the first time, you know you can get the pipe out, fluffy slippers and relax into that world we know and love, and it's it's...Paula. Which to be honest if i could chose anyone out of all the books for her own lil' novel it would be her. Darn it give her her own epic two book yarn Peter, you know you want to.


Great intro in Hamilton's books if you have no read any before, for fans, it's mana from heaven
