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.

The narrator of this book is John Lee, a favourite of mine - albeit from non-fiction books - and he comes in for some unfair criticism in other reviews. Although he gets off to a slightly shaky start, it quickly gets much better, and I actually preferred his style to the one adopted by Toby Longworth, who tried to give voices to every character in The Dreaming Void and ended up with some rather dubious accents. The only criticism I have is the inconsistent pronunciation of names. One of the central characters and a key location are named differently in the books, which I found irritating.
Great book from a fantastic author

I expected more of the same with this sequel but I was pleasantly surprised. The pace of the book is great, the descriptions are brief, and hardly any signs of enzyme bonded concrete. The story is really engrossing and I found myself enjoying the dreams more than the reality.
You can read this standalone but I would recommend reading Pandora's Star & Judas Unchained first, as there is very little explanation about certain elements of history/technology that was explained at length in the first books and many of the original characters re-appear in this sequel with some in-jokes you would miss.
Outstanding !!

Peter F Hamilton does it again with this incredibly written, emotionally engaging story. After reading the original commonwealth series (Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained) which was incredible, I then read book 1 of this series (The Dreaming Void) and felt a little less satisfied. However, now after reading book 2, the story (or should I say stories) really intensifies and the threads begin to weave together, and it's just as gripping as I found the first series to be!
The concepts Hamilton describes are exceptionally creative and a little mind bending towards the end! I always find myself listening for hours on end, like binge watching a Netflix series, because I just can't get enough.
I'll be moving right on to book 3. Thank you for writing such masterpieces, Hamilton!

The story is fabulous as expected. I have six days to wait for my next credit and it is already spent on the next installment.
Sound level are a bit sketchy at the beginning
