Description

Also known as Trance Tool or Light entrainment system, the PandoraStar is a state-of-the-art stroboscope or strobe light. It resembles a plate with 12 white LED lights arranged in the shape of a hexagram. This futuristic-looking device can easily be attached to a tripod. Rafael Columbia [CS] Chief of the Intersolar Series Crimes Directorate, member of the Exo-Protectorate Council and a Halgarth family member. Becomes the Vice Admiral in charge of planetary defense when the Navy is formed and later the Admiral of the Navy 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) 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. Some PandoraStar programs last a few minutes, others several hours. We know that brainwave activity is influenced by a synchronized activity of neurons firing in the brain. This allows the user of the PandoraStar to effortlessly dive into various states of consciousness, and to explore them to his heart’s content.

This is a list of characters that appear in the Commonwealth Universe. All characters are listed alphabetically and each will have an indication of where they most prominently feature, [PS] for Pandora's Star, [JU] for Judas Unchained and [CS] for those characters that feature in both books of the Commonwealth Saga; Similarly [DV], [TV], [EV] and [VT] for the Void Trilogy and [AB], [NW] and [CF] for the Chronicle of the Fallers. Orion [CS] Parentless teenage boy from Silvergalde and Ozzie’s companion during his search to find the adult Silfen McClain Gilbert (Mac) [CS] Forward crew chief at the CST exploratory division on Merredin , member of the Second Chance mission and later a Navy captain of the starship Moscow 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.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: Tarlo [CS] Investigator at the Intersolar Serious Crimes Directorate and later a Lieutenant in Navy Intelligence After capturing two crew members of the Second Chance (one of them Bose), MorningLightMountain discovers the location of the Commonwealth. Upon learning of the Commonwealth's existence, MorningLightMountain makes it its primary objective to destroy it. Having been in almost continual combat for its entire evolution, MorningLightMountain believes that it is necessary to eliminate all other life in the Universe to secure its survival into the distant future; it views all life that is not under its control as a potential threat. Oscar Monroe[CS] Operations Director of the CST exploratory division on Merredin , a member of the Second Chance mission and later a Navy Captain of the starship Defender and after that the Dublin Samantha McFoster [JU] A clan member in the Guardians of Selfhood , technician for the planet's revenge

Dimitri Leopoldovich [JU] An academician specialising in tactical analysis at the StPetersburg Institute of Strategic Studies When the Second Chance arrives and begins to explore what appears to be an enclosure generator, an unknown mechanism shuts it down and the barrier around the star disappears. Formerly imprisoned inside is an extremely warlike and aggressive species, a race that comes to be called "the Primes". They consist of intelligent "immotiles" that breed and control vast armies of sub-sentient "motiles" via electronically extended neural interfaces. The few immotiles constantly vie with each other for territories and resources, and by the time of the story, the strongest uses the technology gleaned by analysis of the human's wormhole-generation techniques to destroy all the other Prime immotiles and thus become the only one remaining Prime: MorningLightMountain.

Happiness & Healing with PandoraStar Two 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] The Commonwealth Saga is a series of science fiction novels by British science fiction writer Peter F. Hamilton. This saga consists of the novels Pandora's Star (2004) and Judas Unchained (2005). Hamilton has also written several books set in the same literary universe. Misspent Youth (2002) takes place 340 years before the events of Pandora's Star. The Void Trilogy, consisting of The Dreaming Void (2008), The Temporal Void (2009), and The Evolutionary Void (2010), takes place 1,200 years after the events of Judas Unchained; several of the main characters from Judas Unchained and Pandora's Star also appear in the Void trilogy. On a distant planet, astronomer Dudley Bose performs the first detailed observations of a mysterious astronomical event known as the Dyson Pair Enclosure. Two stars, located roughly 1,000 light years from Earth (750 light years from the edge of Commonwealth space), disappeared some time in the past. The theory is that they have been enclosed inside Dyson spheres. Dudley Bose [CS] Professor of Astronomy at Gralmond University and a member of the Second Chance missionAs the Starflyer attempts to return to Beta, human forces engage in a desperate chase to prevent it from escaping. Their forces fail, but Johansson's Guardians of Selfhood have been preparing for this event, marshalling the weather of the entire planet and unleashing a massive directed hurricane that destroys the Starflyer's ship. Johansson is aboard the Marie Celeste, and the action ends with him preparing to kill the Starflyer.
