If you have a Kindle...

Just FYI, if you have a Kindle and are interested in this book/series, there is a compilation of all 3 (or 6 depending on how you look at it) books listed as The Night's Dawn Trilogy available for download for a little under $8. That's obviously a fair amount cheaper than buying the books individually and you don't have to lug around 3000+ pages. I am enjoying this series immensely but am only about halfway through so will have to reserve my final judement. Oh and I just noticed the ability to insert a product link so here it is:

A lot of bang for the buck!

The reality Dysfunction is sweeping, gory, scary, ominous, and totally over the top. That is one reason I like it. Mr. Hamilton manages to write well enough to keep you reading, and not mind the suspicion that the subsequent books will be a let down. I bought 4 books of the series and tried to get into the second volume after the Reality Dysfunction, but it totally failed to grab me. So I gave the whole bunch away to an appreciative friend.

I should say I had the same experience with other multivolume sci-fi stories: The Foundation had a great beginning, but I lost interest in the second volume; same thing with Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books: I totally love Red Mars, a true sci-fi classic. And I recommend Green Mars, the second book to hardcore fans. But Blue Mars, in my opinion, just loses steam.

I recommend reading the Reality Dysfunction if you like action, imaginative semi-horror gore, and just want to escape for a while into another world. I have rarely seen better.

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.
