When images of a lost civilisation are "dreamed" by a prophet, Nigel Sheldon is asked to investigate. The dreams seem to be coming from the Void - a mysterious area of living space with hugely destructive capabilities.
Crash landing on an unknown planet within the void, Nigel finds far more than he expected. Bienvenido: a world populated by the descendants of survivors from Commonwealth colony ships. For centuries they have been fighting a desperate battle against the Fallers, a space-born predator artificially evolved to conquer worlds. Nigel soon realises that the Fallers hold the key to the destruction of the Void itself.

Let's say it as it is. Big disappointment all the way. The third books series that plays in the Commonwealth Universe this is also the by far weakest and most boring one.
Simply put, it just plays in the Void universe. All of it. There is outside/inside interesting development going on. There is actually no development going on at all. It feels like reading the same “Void Trilogy” Edeard stories just with a different character. Nothing interesting at all.
While it is still written very well and it is still a page turner, it was just not enjoyful at all. This is not a Hamilton book as I was expecting it.
The ending is a nice cliff hanger, but the most shocking thing for me was “So what, don't really care how it goes on”.
