Description
At the edge of the galaxy something awakens - and it's coming for us . . .
Earth AD 2329: Humanity has colonized over four hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. For the first time in mankind's history there is peace. Then a star over a thousand light years away suddenly vanishes, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size. Yet who - or what - has that sort of technology? And what could this mean for us? Only a faster-than-light starship, captained by ex-NASA astronaut Wilson Kime, can reach that distance to investigate.
For Wilson, getting inside the force field could be easy. It may be harder to stop something else from getting out.
What if there was a very good reason to seal off an entire star system?
The Commonwealth Saga duology concludes with Judas Unchained.

WOW. Pandora's Star is a EPIC space opera. It has everything you could want from a space opera. Huge elaborate worlds,(strange) Aliens, Robots, Space-Battles, Politics,Intrigues and a lot of characters. You really need to concentrate reading this, because there are a lot of different storylines with many characters on lots of worlds. Nearly each of the 26 chapters starts with big info dump over 5-10 pages, describing for example the world, its history or political system. Even though this puts a hard break on the flow of the story you get a wonderfully rich and thoughout world in return. Peter F. Hamilton tells his story really well and you won't get bored. Interesting characters and the need to know what the fuck is happening got me hooked pretty quickly and I had to read the last 200 pages in one go. Be warned though. It ends with a remarkably similar cliffhanger as The Daylight War. I guess you should look at the Commonwealth Saga as one book with 2k pages.
