'''Peter F. Hamilton''' is a British science fiction writer most famous for his ''[[Nights Dawn|Night's Dawn]]'' trilogy. The last book in his ''[[Void Trilogy]]'' following up the ''[[Commonwealth Saga (Literature)|Commonwealth Saga]]'', ''The Evolutionary Void'', was released in September 2010.
 
Hamilton is known for blending [[Space Opera]] with [[Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness|hard]] science-fiction, often combined with the bizarre. For example, his ''Night's Dawn'' trilogy is a [[Space Opera]] epic that takes a [[Space Is an Ocean]] approach that is pretty diamond hard on the scale, and throws in a plague of the souls of the returning dead. Much, ''much'' [[Better Than It Sounds]].
Line 10:
The Void Trilogy is the latest series, taking place in the same continuity as the Commonwealth Saga, thousands of years later. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is discovered to be an "artificial universe", the Void, that is gradually consuming the galaxy to fuel the outlandish [[Mind Over Matter]] powers of its denizens. A major religious cult in the Commonwealth decides to pilgrimage into the Void, an action which might trigger an expansion that could destroy the galaxy. Oh, and [[The Messiah]] can dream the life of Edeard, one of the humans that lived in the Void hundreds of years prior, and his sharing of these dreams are the foundation of his cult.
 
Be warned, though: almost everything he writes is a [[Door StopperDoorstopper]] [[Space Opera]] with [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], and in recent years this has only gotten more pronounced. It is also worth noting that almost ''everything'' he has written has been extremely well received.
