A Night Without Stars - Book Review

A Night Without Stars is the latest Commonwealth novel by Peter F. Hamilton, which takes place in Bienvenido. Bienvenido got sent out of the Void, and they are in even more trouble with the fallers. But someone is coming to help (if you are a Commonwealth series fan, you can probably guess who that is). As usual, it was excellent. There are many authors that I will not pre-order from, but Peter F. Hamilton has proven to be very safe in this regard. Personally I liked the high-tech bits more, but the low-tech parts were still pretty good. And plenty of action all around. The ending was pretty good, although as usual for Hamilton, it felt a bit deus-ex-machina. Still, it was foreshadowed enough that it felt fair. And the epilogue was very satisfying. Overall, strongly recommended for fans of the Commonwealth series. It'd be pretty confusing if you didn't read the rest of the Void series, though.
