The Reality Dysfunction

The Reality Dysfunction, the first book in Peter F. Hamilton's epic Night's Dawn trilogy, is a sweeping space opera that takes readers on a thrilling journey across the galaxy.

In the year AD 2600, humanity has achieved extraordinary feats. Genetically engineered creatures thrive in space, while sentient starships traverse the stars, amassing wealth by industrializing entire star systems. The Confederation Navy maintains peace throughout inhabited space.

But when a renegade criminal encounters an alien entity on a primitive colony planet, it triggers a catastrophic event that threatens everything humanity has become. This phenomenon, which an extinct race once called ‘the Reality Dysfunction’, is a nightmare that has haunted us since the dawn of time. . .

The Reality Dysfunction is followed by The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God in this epic space opera trilogy. Hamilton's intricate world-building, complex characters, and thrilling plot twists make this a must-read for fans of hard science fiction and space exploration.
