Summary
Robust， peaceful， and confident， the Commonwealth dispatched a ship to investigate the mystery of a disappearing star， only to inadvertently unleash a predatory alien species that turned on its liberators， striking hard， fast， and utterly without mercy。
The Prime are the Commonwealth's worst nightmare。 Coexistence is impossible with the technologically advanced aliens， who are genetically hardwired to exterminate all other forms of life。 Twenty-three planets have already fallen to the invaders， with casualties in the hundreds of millions。 And no one knows when or where the genocidal Prime will strike next。
Nor are the Prime the only threat。 For more than a hundred years， a shadowy cult， the Guardians of Selfhood， has warned that an alien with mind-control abilities impossible to detect or resist -- the Starflyer -- has secretly infiltrated the Commonwealth。 Branded as terrorists， the Guardians and their leader， Bradley Johansson， have been hunted by relentless investigator Paula Myo。 But now evidence suggests that the Guardians were right all along， and that the Starflyer has placed agents in vital posts throughout the Commonwealth -- agents who are now sabotaging the war effort。
Is the Starflyer an ally of the Prime， or has it orchestrated a fight to the death between the two species for its own advantage？ Caught between two deadly enemies， one a brutal invader striking from without， the other a remorseless cancer killing from within， the fractious Commonwealth must unite as never before。。。

If you are a fan of fantasy or sci-fi that builds an amazing world。 This series is for you。 Hamilton's creation of a future where humans have spread out among the star is a hopeful take on what we can become。 It's not without danger and intrigue， as he builds on the previous book。 Bringin the story to a close in grand fashion。 The commonwealth saga isn't for those who want an easy or quick read。 It's for the person who wants to sit back and be told an epic story。 If you are a fan of fantasy or sci-fi that builds an amazing world。 This series is for you。 Hamilton's creation of a future where humans have spread out among the star is a hopeful take on what we can become。 It's not without danger and intrigue， as he builds on the previous book。 Bringin the story to a close in grand fashion。 The commonwealth saga isn't for those who want an easy or quick read。 It's for the person who wants to sit back and be told an epic story。 。。。more

Felt like it dragged at the end， with a lot of the “big reveals” having holes or other question marks that I just couldn’t reconcile。

equally epic second installment of the series （in the most literal sense）。 Same strengths （depth and world building） and weaknesses （pacing， length）。 It at least has the upside of not ending on as unsatisfactory of a cliffhang。 But I honestly feel relieved just knowing I finally got through it。 It was a tedious， winding， perhaps even unnecessary trek; not unlike the the third of the book about Ozzie。

Having read both this book and it's predecessor， I think this one has the same problems as the first one。 The characters really could do with some more depth and I think it drags on sometimes。 That's really a pity because it removes the sense of urgency from the action filled segments that are supposed to be this book's strength and I'm sad to say I found the action in the first book （the assault on the Second Chance） more exiting to read。 I also found it to be quite predictable。 It was quite ob Having read both this book and it's predecessor， I think this one has the same problems as the first one。 The characters really could do with some more depth and I think it drags on sometimes。 That's really a pity because it removes the sense of urgency from the action filled segments that are supposed to be this book's strength and I'm sad to say I found the action in the first book （the assault on the Second Chance） more exiting to read。 I also found it to be quite predictable。 It was quite obvious to me which character was "the betrayer" from the moment in the book when you find out that someone has replaced the evidence （the navy camera footage）， and unfortunately that takes away from what is supposed to be a big reveal at the end。 It also makes a certain character look quite naive （if I'm being kind） or stupid （if I'm not）。 It's still a great book series though， just not a perfect one。 The author really knows how to incorporate new ideas into his work on a fundamental level， and the world building is superb， but it drags on in parts where it really should streamline。 。。。more

Really enjoyed the 2nd part of the Commonwealth Saga。 Humans are trying to deal with traitors from within and 2 major alien threats to their continued existence。 The ultimate race for survival is fast-paced and gripping。 Who will pack-up and leave， who will stay to fight。 Planets are being decimated and millions of human displaced。 WMDs are being used by both sides。 Hamilton does a good job of presenting the existential issues while immersing the main characters in tough situations。 Worth every Really enjoyed the 2nd part of the Commonwealth Saga。 Humans are trying to deal with traitors from within and 2 major alien threats to their continued existence。 The ultimate race for survival is fast-paced and gripping。 Who will pack-up and leave， who will stay to fight。 Planets are being decimated and millions of human displaced。 WMDs are being used by both sides。 Hamilton does a good job of presenting the existential issues while immersing the main characters in tough situations。 Worth every minute。 Ethically who is correct: the misguided hippie genius or the pragmatic realist？ 。。。more

Both of these books were great but far far too long。

Sometimes when you get to the end of a big Space Opera there are left over threads that are still hanging。 Those could be there for the sequel， but often are just forgotten or deemed unimportant。 Hamilton avoids this as he manages to bring all the many plot lines together here as we see how all is linked。 Oh， and we get a rip roaring finale too。

Not as verbose as the first book but still a lot of describing environments that sound nice but have nothing to do with the story。Good race at the end though and still and great story

After the excitement and scope of Pandora’s Star this was a little bit of a let down。 The book was not too bad， but did little to expand upon the wondrous scope exposed in the first novel。 Ozzie’s journey to the Silfen is almost completely pointless and rather unjustifiable。 The major characters engage in a huge battle with the Primes， killing millions and in the end little is resolved。 All good Space Opera-ey stuff， but perhaps could have used some tighter editing。 Upon reflection this is much After the excitement and scope of Pandora’s Star this was a little bit of a let down。 The book was not too bad， but did little to expand upon the wondrous scope exposed in the first novel。 Ozzie’s journey to the Silfen is almost completely pointless and rather unjustifiable。 The major characters engage in a huge battle with the Primes， killing millions and in the end little is resolved。 All good Space Opera-ey stuff， but perhaps could have used some tighter editing。 Upon reflection this is much tighter that his last series （“Night’s Dawn”） and so I suppose we can view that as progress。 。。。more

What a mixed bag of feelings for me！ It is a 3。5 star read， but as the goodreads adamantly refuses to do something about this rigid system， it is getting four stars from me。 I finished the first book in August 2011， and it is nearly 10 yeas after it， I am marking this one as a read one。 So， the feeling of cohesion was virtually not present when I was reading the second one in this massive story。 In my defense， I did try to read it several times - first off， as a paper copy that I still keep， and What a mixed bag of feelings for me！ It is a 3。5 star read， but as the goodreads adamantly refuses to do something about this rigid system， it is getting four stars from me。 I finished the first book in August 2011， and it is nearly 10 yeas after it， I am marking this one as a read one。 So， the feeling of cohesion was virtually not present when I was reading the second one in this massive story。 In my defense， I did try to read it several times - first off， as a paper copy that I still keep， and then after multiple attempts to progress further， an audiobook that was also attempted to be listened to。 So when finally， I went for it with all my emotional force as I craved some quality sci fi after a spell of period literature and historical fiction， I pushed for it quite hard， and two days ago the mission was accomplished。 I am telling you this that all the drawbacks and flaws that I will be attributing to it might simply come from the fact that there was a lapse in reading order。 Overall， I did like the book， and the characters were quirky and interesting。 Of course， to a point， they were dull - we are not talking about Dostoevsky， after all， but for the scope of the story， the leading characters were mostly memorable。 The thing is， there were too many of those。 Again， maybe because of the interruption in reading， they might seem less important to me， and thus their role in my mind faded。 The overall execution of the big story was good， nearly perfect， but I can not even imagine the pain of navigating all these plotlines。 On the other hand， he was writing about space travel， and it does require extensive knowledge and talent in 3 D navigation。 I can only imagine the character charts he was using to help him move the plot forward。 The sentient species/ races were also interesting， but I can also read some social criticism in the two that were introduced to us。 The Silfen were a lot like the Eloi from The Time Machine， and the Primes were a paranoid race deprived of our human emotional burden and is willing to conquer everything that is alive for the sake of its own expense。 A propos of nothing， I did find uproariously funny that the Silfen that Ozzie came across with had to use the German accent to make his speech more easily perceivable as we as species seem to be more compliant to anything that slightly resembles military discipline。 Overall， Ozzie is my favorite character in the series。 I did like the technological advances Hamilton introduced in this series， and I can see that some of them are either becoming reality （ and they were not yet at the time the book was written） or are being conceived as ideas。 We are using all the devices that resemble the e-butlers from the novel， and we are thinking of regeneration as a way of preserving life by growing body organs， if not yet the whole human replica。 As for the narrator， I really love John Lee， but there was some kind of confusion in my head as he usually reads the historical powerhouses by Follett， so this juxtaposition between historical fiction of the medieval period in England and the event of the far away future was somewhat confusing。 Plus， I wish we could hear a little bit more silence between the POVs and the new chapters。 It might be the work of the sound engineer as they are trying to slightly shrink the hefty audiofile。 Overall， the book enticed me to move on to other books set in the same universe or try to tackle the Night's Dawn Trilogy。 P。S。 It is so refreshing to read some good hardcore sci-fi。 。。。more
