Peter F. Hamilton is also the author Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained.

The year is 3589. Centurion Station, a research facility, is built on alien ruins at the edge of the Void; a vast darkness that has swallowed whole planets and civilizations. But it has been quiet for millennia. Now it seems to be stirring. Dreams of a strange reality are being projected and nobody knows what is hiding within the void.

At the center of the epic, are three people: a young woman making her fortune on a planet that may be a target for a reactivated void, a young man whose telepathic talent lets him reshape his world, and a detective genetically engineered to track down her quarry.

The Dreaming Void is an epic and involved Space Opera worthy of Heinlein or Weber. Good characters, good action, and a world. This is a trilogy worth getting as well as reading. - Pam Allan
