About this listen

Will their heart's desire doom a civilization? The bestselling Void trilogy continues in The Temporal Void, an astonishing and vast space opera from Peter F. Hamilton, set in the world of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is in turmoil, as a cult prepares for its pilgrimage into the Void. Breaching its boundaries could cause an irreparable rift in space. Yet these fanatics are unstoppable, convinced by the Void’s projections of a paradise within. An alien invasion fleet is also on the way, as the Oscien Empire attempts to take advantage of humanity’s confusion.

Investigator Paula Myo must hunt the Void’s latest prophet, in an attempt to stop her spreading its enticing visions. And at the heart of events is Edeard the Waterwalker, who lived long ago within the Void. Tales of his glorious story inspired the Pilgrimage – but may yet expose the Void’s true nature.

The Temporal Void is the second book in the Void trilogy. Complete the epic adventure with The Evolutionary Void.

I disagree with the other reviewers on here that are criticising the narrator, after 30 minutes he finds his feet and then proceeds to deliver hour after hour of very good storytelling. He doesn't attempt to be a voice-actor like the reader of the previous book did and I think that's why he's getting some grief but after the initial thirty minutes he definitely picks up in quality and delivers a good performance. The story itself is obviously very fascinating and I need a story of this length to make my commute bearable. I'd recommend it.

Better than he's getting credit for

the two intertwined stories may seem disjointed even though one effects the other you soon get drawn into the two universes and there is a lot of affection for edard and the way his life unfolds. i could be one of living dream after writing that:)

How I agree with the other reviewers. A fantastic story, well written but spoilt by the narrator. When we get the third part(which I sincerly hope is soon!), please, please can it be Toby Longworth who reads it? John Lee's reading is flat and I was often unsure who was speaking.
