About this ebook

The Naked God is the brilliant climax to Peter F. Hamilton's awe-inspiring Night's Dawn Trilogy, a space opera that is “big, boisterous, and has something for everyone” (Science Fiction Weekly).
 
As the Confederation begins to collapse politically and economically, the “possessed” insidiously infiltrate more and more worlds.

Meanwhile, Quinn Dexter is loose on Earth, destroying the giant arcologies one at a time. As Louise Kavanagh tries to track him down, she manages to acquire some strange and powerful allies whose goals don’t quite match her own.
 
The campaign to liberate Mortonridge from the possessed degenerates into a horrendous land battle, the kind which hasn't been seen by humankind for six hundred years.
 
And finally, Joshua Calvert and Syrinx race to fly their starships on a mission to find the Sleeping God — which an alien race believes holds the key to overthrowing the possessed.
 
"Elements of space opera, Straubesque horror and adrenaline-laced action make this a demanding, rewarding read." —Publishers Weekly on The Reality Dysfunction

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed the series a lot. One thing that got on my nerves was that the possessed started off as near indestructible supreme beings in the first book with squads of mercenaries unable to kill just one of them to just pretty strong in the third book where they were killed fairly easily by single soldiers. That lack of continuity bothered me a bit. All in all a great space epic tho!

A long ending to a LONG space opera. Flows along although some of it is hard to imagine. Generally quite suspenseful.How doyounhavge time to write so much?

Generally a great conclusion to a massive read. The three books maintained a high level of tension and excitement all the way to then end. Definetly will need a reread at some future date!
