Together with its accompanying short-story collection, A Second Chance at Eden, Peter F. Hamilton's bestselling Night's Dawn Trilogy has been one of the most triumphant works of science fiction to appear in decades. Swiftly gathering a worldwide readership, this masterwork of cosmic imagination and sheer story-telling amounts to over 3,700 pages (or 1,200,000 words) in total, and has brought to life a galaxy of diverse planets and astonishing civilisations.
To mark the completion of this awesome trilogy, Peter F. Hamilton has produced The Confederation Handbook as an essential companion guide to the diverse elements of the massive universe he has created. Here we have his personal exposition of Adamist culture, Edenist culture, the starships, the status of the Confederation in 2610, a description of sentient xenoc species, as well as a full list of characters and their roles and, of course, details of the timeline itself.
