    Description

    The first in the Night's Dawn trilogy, The Reality Dysfunction is a sweeping, intergalactic adventure from the master of space opera, Peter F. Hamilton. For fans of Iain M. Banks and Alastair Reynolds.

    An extinct race named this phenomenon 'the Reality Dysfunction'. It is a nightmare that has haunted us since the dawn of time . . .

    In AD 2600, the human race is finally realizing its potential. The galaxy’s colonized planets host a multitude of diverse cultures. Genetic engineering has defeated disease and produced extraordinary space-born creatures. Huge fleets of sentient trader starships thrive, living on the wealth created by industrializing entire star systems. And throughout inhabited space, the Confederation Navy keeps the peace.

    Then something goes catastrophically wrong. On a primitive colony planet, a renegade criminal encounters an utterly alien entity. And this unintended meeting triggers the release of those that should never see the light – threatening everything we’ve become . . .

    The Reality Dysfunction is followed by The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God.

    A complex listen made more difficult ...

    The story is incredibly complex made very difficult by sudden scene changes with little or no pause. I would suddenly realised the scene had changed with no more pause than the end of a sentence. the narration is clear but his intonation of each sentence is very monotonous. overall not a relaxing experience, one I wrestled to the end but I won't continue to the next book. maybe I'll read it instead.

    A book about torture in space with lots of sex

    This book kept popping out in my recommandations and being a fan of John Lee's performance from China Mieville's books, I looked it up on good reads. Most of the critique concentrates on being slow, it having too many characters... This doesn't bother me, so I picked it up. I now regret my choice.

    First of all, the audio performance wasn't what I expected. Hamilton changes characters multiple times in a chapter and quite abruptly, but it is read without any changing in intonation, without a pause... One moment X running through a jungle on one planet, the next Y is turning to talk to W in a bar on a station. Doesn't matter that Y is a woman and X was a man... It sometimes takes several seconds to register that the scene has changed. It makes it hard to follow. Add to this the few dozens of characters, some that die after their sequence, add to this the descriptions of planets and stations that sometimes interrupt action scenes (which is part of hamilton's style, but the narration doesn't make an effort to help) ... and you get a very confusing experience.

    Then there's the writing from Hamilton... If you like erotic science fiction, or just erotic literature, you might appreciate the main character. Every woman (and I mean literally every woman) he mets wants to sleep with him, sleeps with him and then only thinks about him. Doesn't matter that the woman in question is one of the most important persons in the galaxy, when Hamilton focuses on her, she's either talking to the main character or thinking about him. And it's completely artificial! He never gets to show any reason why so many women are in love with him, appart from the descriptions of his performances in bed... Which are basically: they get to screw multiple times and they get sweaty. You'd think that in a culture with genetically engineered people that get to live 200 years, that can sustain 9Gs, you could have more sexual imagination than just repetition.

    The story is slow, there's no suspense really... nobody that matters dies, when they die it's phoned in... The only thrill in the book is achieved through the cruelty of the bad-guys... it's basically a book about torture in space with lots of sex. If it tried to be a horror book, it failed. If it tries to be an erotic novel, it fails. If it tries to be a space opera, it succeeds in being a low grade one. And it's a shame really. You can see Hamilton has lots of talent in his phrasing. He has a nice scifi imagination, a good attention to details. It's just a bad novel and I won't be following the series.

    Awesome but need some editing

    As said in other reviews, the audio version could use some editing as no space is given between paragraphs, or changes in the POV. This might be a bit confusing if you're not paying enough attention.
    Otherwise the story is great, John Lee is doing a terrific job in that long book.
    I got a couple other to finish, then I will jump on number 2!
