Description

As the war rages, the human forces begin to build much faster, better armed ships and fitting them with new "quantumbuster" weapons that can destroy an entire planet. Later on, a more advanced quantumbuster is deployed, which is capable of inducing a main-sequence star to go nova. Despite the original plan to use it on the Dyson Alpha star and thus kill the entire prime race, a modified field version of a normal quantumbuster is eventually deployed on the Dyson Alpha forcefield generator, destroying the mechanism that was interfering with the generator's systems. This allows the mechanism to reactivate, trapping the Prime aliens inside and avoiding genocide. Primes had previously colonised the solar system referred to as Dyson Beta using slower-than-light starships and had committed genocide against its native inhabitants in the process. Disconnected from their originating immotile groupings, and provided with novel biological forms, Beta's Primes started to routinely alter themselves through genetic manipulation and mechanical augmentation. This was an anathema to the Alpha Primes, who referred to them as AlienPrimes. With Beta's Primes no longer under the control of Alpha's Primes, a war began between the two systems. The war appears to have continued until forces unknown erected the barrier around the stars. Hamilton weaves several other stories into the main narrative of the Prime encounter. Among these is that of the ancient spacecraft Marie Celeste, found crashed on one of the Commonwealth planets, Far Away. An enigmatic figure, Bradley Johansson, claims the original passenger of the spacecraft is alive, an alien he calls the Starflyer. He claims that it is using mind-controlled agents to manipulate events in the Commonwealth, and that it caused the events that led to the discovery of the Primes. The Commonwealth forces dismiss Johansson as a crazy terrorist, and his attempts to interfere with the voyage to Dyson Alpha are thwarted. PandoraStar phototherapy stimulates the pineal gland. Apart from the eyes, the pineal is the only organ in the body activated by light. This extraordinary gland is considered to be the dwelling place of the soul. It regulates the body’s production of melatonin, serotonin as well as its release of DMT.

Eventually, the human forces decide that there can be no other solution to the conflict than to commit genocide and destroy the Primes entirely. However, it is revealed that the Primes are planning a much larger invasion, which humanity will be all but powerless to stop.

Crispin Goldreich [CS] Senator, Chair of the Budget Commission and member of the Exo-Protectorate Council Renne Kempasa [CS] Investigator at the Intersolar Serious Crimes Directorate and later Lieutenant in Navy Intelligence LionWalker Eyre [PS] An eccentric living on Tanyata with a private observatory that is used by Dudley Bose to confirm the Dyson Pair envelopment. Ends up living next door to Mark Vernon. Hoshe Finn [CS] Detective for the Darklake City Police working for the ice division/criminal investigation departmentTwo additional novels, set in the time 263 years before (A.B.D.) and five years after (N.W.S.) "The Void Trilogy", were released in 2014 ( The Abyss Beyond Dreams) [1] and 2016 ( Night Without Stars). [2] Campbell Sheldon [CS] Direct great-grandson of Nigel Sheldon with a high position in the Family Dynasty These passages probably reveal more about Hamilton’s assessment of existing 21st-century human civilization than they do about what a 24th-century posthuman civilization would look like (if we can get there), but that’s not a criticism; the future’s inherent unpredictability usually ensures that science fiction is more about critiquing the present than describing what’s to come with much reliability. Hamilton’s preoccupation with this debate is engaging and useful despite its heavy-handed presentation. Samantha McFoster [JU] A clan member in the Guardians of Selfhood , technician for the planet's revenge For all the changes and undeniable improvements automation and consumerism had brought to the proletariat’s standard of living, it hadn’t changed the financial power structure that ruled the human race. A tiny minority controlled the wealth of hundreds of worlds, bypassing, buying, or corrupting governments to maintain their dominance. (795-6)

Happiness & Healing with PandoraStar The other two elements of Pandora’s Star that stand out are Hamilton’s descriptions of exploratory space travel and his weird-yet-accessible depiction of a hostile alien power. I’ll say no more about the latter since that would get us into spoiler territory, but I will share my favorite passage highlighting the ingenuity of human engineering and the bravery of astronauts in the face of the unknown: Orion [CS] Parentless teenage boy from Silvergalde and Ozzie’s companion during his search to find the adult SilfenDudley Bose [CS] Professor of Astronomy at Gralmond University and a member of the Second Chance mission
