Summary

Dark powers have been unleashed across the galaxy. Will the Alchemist be humanity's saviour – or its doom? Following on from The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist is the second epic novel in the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton.

A seemingly unstoppable force has entered our universe, and we are confronted by our most primal fear. Those who have succumbed to its horror have acquired godlike powers. Yet their actions are far from divine.

As they advance from planet to planet, these powerful individuals leave slaughter and mayhem in their wake. The Confederation Navy is dangerously overstretched, as whole worlds fracture and collapse. And a dark messiah prepares to invoke his own version of the final night.

In such desperate times, a powerful new weapon could cause yet more terror, but Dr Alkad Mzu is determined to retrieve the Alchemist – and complete her thirty-year-old mission to slay a star. However, as she works to obtain it, others have their own ideas on how to use this ultimate doomsday device . . .

The Neutronium Alchemist is followed by The Naked God.

Critic reviews

'Space opera has rarely been dealt with in such majesty. . . inventive, ambitious, and, like the greatest of tumbling acts, leaves you giddy for more.'
'Hamilton puts British sci-fi back into interstellar overdrive.'

Totally gripping from start to finish. An absolute masterpiece. Can't wait to get started on the next book.

The night's dawn trilogy is one of the most involved and well paced stories ever, despite the length I never felt like I wished the story would hurry up. John Lee does an excellent job too. A zombie apocalypse (sort of) on a universal scale what's not to love.

Best space opera ever.

It’s a great story and I enjoyed it immensely , it was just the delivery . It lacked inflection and the tones applied to characters was too uniform … very little emotion or energy to the reading which is a shame .

Fantastic story , but delivery that is too uniform

Absolutely loved it. The depth of the characters makes this space opera an emotional experience.

Fantastic follow on from the Reality Dysfunction.
