Über diesen Titel

 Salvation is the first mesmerising space opera in the legendary Salvation Sequence, by Peter F. Hamilton. For fans of Iain M. Banks and James S. A. Corey.


‘A twisty and hugely satisfying SF thriller that opens a portal on a new and exciting series’ – Alastair Reynolds, author of Revelation Space

Know your enemy – or be defeated.

An alien shipwreck is found on a newly discovered world, and it carries a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. Security Director Feriton Kayne assembles a high-powered squad to assess the threat. But one of the group is hiding something – it will be up to the team to bring back answers, answers that will change everything . . .

Back on Earth, humanity can extend lifespans indefinitely, travel to the stars via portal technology and even make deserts bloom. We seem invulnerable. So when the alien Olyix contacted us, years earlier, we welcomed them. They needed fuel for their pilgrimage across the galaxy – and in exchange they helped advance our technology. But will they prove a blessing – or a curse?

‘A startlingly fresh, vigorous and original cosmic saga’ – Stephen Baxter

‘Crammed with cutting-edge ideas’ – The Guardian

‘Exciting, wildly imaginative and quite possible Hamilton’s best book to date’ – SFX Magazine, 5 Stars

Kritikerstimmen

Explosions! Assassins! Enigmatic aliens, spaceships and jump doors. Conspiracies and ancient mysteries – it’s all here. Accept no substitutes, this is the real deal. You need Salvation, my friend. Everyone needs salvation (Ian McDonald author of New Moon)
Salvation is a space-opera intrigue with a cold shock of an ending that makes the sequel a matter of urgency (Ken MacLeod author of Cosmonaut Keep)

I've read most books/cycles from Hamilton and this is no real surprise - which is not particularly bad: In fact it's real fun to read.
Yet again in a not-so-far future, featuring Hamilton's sometimes lengthy style of storrytelling - humanity is in danger of being eradicated by an alien species. This is a common theme, but the setting is nicely done and this first book uses a lot of retrospective little sub-stories that add to a greater picture. It feeös a lot like the void trilogy, where we have two seemingly separate storylines, later converging into a grand finale, but on a smaller scale.
I'm really looking forward to the next two volumes!

Quite funny

an hour in and I already grabbed the 2nd and 3rd volumes.
Binge listening 😅

Just a beautiful masterpiece.

can be confusing at first. but it gets better and the conclusion makes it worth the wait. looking forward to book 2

slow start but worth the wait

Story is confusing due to the frequent shifts in plotlines, flash backs and change in narrating characters. I believe this would make for a great read, but as an audiobook, i had to force myself to finish it.

I found myself not enjoying this due to two main reasons:

1. It sounds to me like John Lee just read this one to get it over with.
2. The structure of the chapters made it hard to navigate on different playback devices (mobile, Alexa) because they are named after the plotline. So that chapter 1 would be "Juloss" Chapter 2 would be "The assessment Team" and Chapter 3 would be "Juloss" again,

The confusion about the chapter navigation combined with the mechanical reading resulted for me in just launching a random chapter without even bothering anymore to find the last position i actively remember hearing. Just like jumping into a waterfall of blablabla until i fall asleep.

Get the book - Story OK but exhausting to listen

I like the story, but it certainly isn't his best one. I'd still recommend it. That being said - Other than some people commenting on the narrator's performance, I like John Lee quite a lot(especially his narration of Alastair Reynolds novels).
Good example on how much preferences can diverge. Reminds me of a review of mine, about a decade ago, in which I found Michael Kramer almost impossible to listen to. Today, I couldn't imagine how I came to that conclusion back then.

Not bis best story, but still great

Der Anfang war langsam und wenig begeisternd aber umsoweiter es fortschreitet umso spannender wird es. Bis es in einem Crescendo mit einem genialem Cliffhanger endet.

Langsamer Start aber Geniales Buch

fantastic read, interesting structure and a good cliffhanger at the end.

i cant wait for the next one.

a must for any Hamilton fan!

Hamilton did it again :)

Endlose, unnötig verschachtelte Flashbacks nehmen dem Buch jedes Tempo. Daher nur etwas für Hamilton-Fans mit Freude an detailliertem Weltenbau. Story an sich ist spannend, nimmt aber erst im letzten Viertel des Buchs Fahrt auf. Nicht sein bestes Werk.

Langsamer, arg konstruierter Aufbau

kann der Geschichte gar nicht folgen, weil der Sprecher so übertreibt und nervig moduliert. schade.

anstrengender Sprecher. ständiges Hoch und Runter

The story is a little long-winded, but entertaining enough not to get boring. The entire novel is just a large scale set-up for what's to come, combined out of multiple story lines of quite a few characters. It'll be interesting how this plays all out in the sequel, and this will determine if consuming this novel is worth it.
One big disadvantage of this novel is the narrator, as with most of the recent PFH novels. John Lee is just horrible. He reads way too fast and doesn't allow for breaks, so many passages, especially dialogue, seems quite rushed and he also doesn't do a good job in distinguishing between characters by different intonation, etc. It's very hard to follow who's speaking sometimes, and what annoys me the most is knowing that listening could be a lot more entertaining with a better narrator.

Not one of Hamilton's best (yet), bad narrator
