Space is not the only void...In AD 2600 the human race is finally beginning to realize its full potential. Hundreds of colonized planets scattered across the galaxy host a multitude of prosperous and wildly diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has pushed evolution far beyond nature's boundaries, defeating disease and producing extraordinary spaceborn creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive on the wealth created by the industrialization of entire star systems. And throughout inhabited space the Confederation Navy keeps the peace. A true golden age is within our grasp.
But now something has gone catastrophically wrong. On a primitive colony planet a renegade criminal's chance encounter with an utterly alien entity unleashes the most primal of all our fears. An extinct race which inhabited the galaxy aeons ago called it "The Reality Dysfunction." It is the nightmare which has prowled beside us since the beginning of history. *The Reality Disfunction* is a modern classic of science fiction, an extraordinary feat of storytelling on a truly epic scale.

Amazing, and introduction to a fascinating series, the interweaving stories starting 30 years before the present and even touching before they start to converge. The scene setting is descriptive and character introductions give the impression that Hamilton hadn't decided who would die when he wrote them giving a good ‘Anyone Can Die' feel initially though later on some characters are obviously not expendable (yet). The only downside is a few just-in-time/just-to-late coincidences, and these look to be expanded further later
While the enemies could (crudely) be described as “fast zombies with superpowers” initially it doesn't stay that simple, and will be the crux of the series
