The Reality Dysfunction
The Reality Dysfunction | Peter F. Hamilton
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 DYSFUNCTION is a modern classic of science fiction, an extraordinary feat of storytelling on a truly epic scale.

“At the core of the nutrient-production globe, the zygote called Syrinx began to gestate inside a womb-analogue organ, supported by a cluster of haematopoiesis organs.”

The No1 reason I love SciFi is it forces me to use my brain and to learn new facts to add to my knowledge. I‘ve now added the word haematopoiesis to my bank of trivia!

My Saturday night is looking very futuristic so far! In bed with yet another breakdown, instead of quality nanny time I‘ll be switching between the tagged chunkster, which is the 1st in a very large trilogy, and the audiobook of the 1st Foundation book. My very first Asimov, I‘ve been watching the adaptation on AppleTV & loved it, but the book is very different isn‘t it? Which do you prefer Asimov lovers? #NovelNovember #33by33 #AnyWayYouReadathon

Andrew65 I love Asimov and been re-reading a lot of his books over the last few years, having first read them in my teenage years. Didn‘t know they had made it into a tv series. 3y
MatchlessMarie I‘ve heard good things about Foundation ✨ 3y
Lizpixie @Andrew65 @MatchlessMarie I really enjoyed the tv series but I hadn‘t read the book first. If you‘re a lover of the book, you may think the show is just too different, which it is but I enjoyed it on its own terms. 3y

Forgot to post this one earlier, take a look at the size of these babies! Both are over 1200 pages and there‘s another book that sits in the middle of these that‘s also huge. I think for these I‘m gonna have to carve out a few days of peace & quiet, with no distractions or interruptions so I can make a dent in them. “Hey Hubs! Pack your bags, you‘re going to your sisters for a week! When? Does tomorrow sound good for you?”😋👋

#BookMail Pt4 I‘ve always been a big SciFi reader, I love Anne McCaffrey, Ann Leckie & now Becky Chambers, so I went on a browse through booktopia.com.au This author jumped out at me for some reason,I was actually looking at his new book Salvation,but found his older books appealing too. This is the first book in a “space opera” trilogy & it looks freaking awesome! Very very hefty though, over 1,200 pages with small font! #hellomigrainemyoldfriend

I figured, now that I have extra time for reading (when breastfeeding, pumping or with a sleeping baby on me) I should tackle some door-stoppers! #1000pages+ #doorstopper #scifi #sf #mbtr

sitting here downing vast quantities of Irish ale, reading a SciFi book that would break your toe if you dropped it. I can't help but feel that I am winning 😆

unproductivemale You this is quite good. I tend to like my space opera to be crap. 7y

read this. read this! READ THIS! souls start taking over planets. I can't say much except READ THIS OMG It's brilliant and insane! Hamilton's writing is smart, technically in-depth (and I'm not a sciency kid so I was worried it'd be over my head) and his characters really suck you in.

Boozybazz Liked this trilogy so much I read it 3 times. My joint all time favourite with Lord Of The Rings. 6y
