Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy--The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and now The Naked God--is ambitious in its galaxy-wide, multiple viewpoint plot, its political and metaphysical subject-matter, its sheer three-thousand page scope. The damned have broken out of the afterlife and possessed whole planets; a gallant and untrustworthy space captain is haring off after alien sorts; and for the resurrected Al Capone, the secret masters of Earth and the government of the human Confederacy, it is business as usual... Hamilton's super-charged villain, Dexter Quinn, arrives on the home planet of humanity with a mission--to convert enough people to his Satanist creed that Earth can be taken out of the universe altogether; "Quinn raised an arm, his sleeve falling to reveal an albino hand with grizzled claw fingers. Three thin streamers of white fire lashed out from the talons, searingly bright in the gloomy, smoke-heavy air." The many fans of Hamilton's high-octane gloomy space opera will find this finale a worthy successor, and thrill to its many surprises; Hamilton's evocation of the depths of space and the strangeness of alien races has rightly won him much praise. A certain moral ambiguity has also crept in to what was at first a black and white universe--some of the returned damned are heroic and compassionate, and many of the living are not as nice as all that. --Roz Kaveney


Product Description

This last volume in the "Night's Dawn" trilogy sees Quinn Dexter loose on Earth, pursued by Louise Kavanagh, with some strange and powerful allies whose goal doesn't match her own. Joshua Calvert and Syrinx are on a mission to find the Sleeping God who holds the key to overthrowing the enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Naked God by Peter F. Hamilton, 22 April 2003
By Mr. W. J. Kozlowski (Nottingham., Nottinghamshire. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Having read the first two volumes of this trilogy I couldn't wait to get my hands on the final volume, if only to see how the author would tie up all the various sub-plots. I have to admit I was not dissapointed . This was a trilogy on a par with ,in my view, The Lord of the Rings. I have to admit to unbridled admiration to the number of sub-plots that Hamilton wove throughout the three books and the deft way in which they added to the overall story. This was in my view what all Science Fiction should be like, not just a single plot story line as in some books, films and programmes. I do believe it would make a superb T.V. Sci-Fi series comparable to Babylon 5 and the much praised Farscape series. I do have to admit that I would have liked there to have been a few loose ends left in the final volume if only to allow Hamilton to write further books set in the same universe following one or two connecting threads with the earlier books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect..., 26 May 2000
By A Customer
...right up until the very end, when the 'deus ex machina' conclusion (and it's too-neat tying up of loose ends) spoiled it all.

Which is a shame, because up 'til then this had been an almost faultless series -- right up there with Julian May's 'Many-coloured Land' saga as my all-time favourite sci-fi.

Still well worth reading the trilogy though.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ecellent conclusion to the 'Nights Dawn Trilogy ', 28 April 2000
By A Customer
I have enjoyed reading this trilogy a great deal and have many happy hours lost in the story. The 'Naked God' is at least as good as the others in the series and the story as Dexter Quinn gets loose on Earth was superb - I'll never look at St Pauls in the same light again

I hope that Peter Hamilton finds another story to write in the same area - perhaps the story leading to the split between Edenists and Adamists

Overall cracking stuff - well worth a read

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good read, disapointing end
The whole trilogy realy drags you along. One of the best I've read. Bit too neat at the end for my liking. God/Machine or what.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joke of cosmic proportions....
A fitting climax to a fantastic series. Though I wonder if Mr Hamilton is having a laugh. Anybody who is an avid reader of SF will have seen more 'deus ex machina' endings than... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Hngh... grr... I dunno
The first books were tense and gripping, and seemingly simple solutions abandoned. This one, however, just slotted together too neatly. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but...
Disappointing really. I felt that the ending in particular was incredibly contrived.
