Here humans have evolved differently and have abilities similar to those in the Commonwealth but that have grown organically within them. Here we meet Edeard, an apprentice in the eggshaper guild. His powers are particularly strong — the strongest in his village. Living Dream want to make a pilgrimage into the Void, in the hope of living a life like Edeard.
This is a moment in human future where those who have lived for hundreds of years are choosing their end life plan. Some are leaving their physical bodies behind and downloading into ANA, a sentient program made up of the people who have downloaded. Others, such as Living Dream have other ideas.
Most of this chapter highlights the dangers of entering the Void. It seems the Void can only stay established by consuming energy from the surrounding space.
Were Living Dream to enter, many feel that the Void would grow and consume the entire Commonwealth, as well as other galaxies. Now we can begin to understand the importance of the Void. It seems that many factions within ANA and others around the galaxy have ideas about the enigma at the centre of their existence.
Thus begins the tussle between various political parties and the plot of the novel is laid out. A seemingly unimportant character, Araminta, appears as more of a background piece though we all know that anyone given space in a Peter F Hamilton novel will hold some importance at some point. It is here where we truly see how powerful Edeard is as his party is ambushed by savages.
Watching as Edeard uses his third hand to throw the invaders around and take control of their animals is edge of the seat reading.
He singlehandedly saves his party of apprentices and leaders, which draws their unwanted eyes and attention. Chapter three and the last bit of reading for this opening week of the reread. Aaron is being questioned by Corrie-Lyn as to his creation and existence which allows us to see a darker side to him. Makkathran, last survivor of the Raiel armada, soared back up into the sky it had fallen from a million years ago and headed for the clean emptiness of space.
Gore is finding the going tough with his mind split into two, one focusing on the Anomine homeworld, the other in the quicker temporal flow of the Void. Edeard reaches out and feels the confusion in its mind, of the loss of its fellow, and of the spaceship that approaches. We have found no minds since they threw the planets of life down into the stars they orbited. None have emerged here other than your own species.
Edeard asks if he is fulfilled and if he can be taken to the Heart. The Skylord agrees that he is, and that he can travel there in his physical form before allowing the Heart to decide whether they will accept him like that.
Gore tells them that they need to go faster despite them being at the Skylords top speed. As Gore continues his work on the elevation machine, infiltrating its structure, Tyzak observes that others have come to watch: the Silfen. Edeard then tries to talk to the Heart, but has no luck. Instead they suggest that he simply frees himself, letting the Heart see his fulfilment. Then Gore comes forth:. Edeard had to laugh. It is universal; it lies behind everywhere in the Void.
And still it grows. I need you to go back to when it was smaller. Finally he comes to a time near the beginning where the Heart is connected to individual minds, to those of the Firstlifes — Edeard manifests one in the square for them to talk to. Then something moved in the nothingness outside the dome.
A dark sphere beset with deep purple scintillations slipped smoothly overhead. A borderguard emerges close to Marius and destroys the quantumbusters before they can do their work.. Weapons locked onto the garish nimbus. He opened fire. Gore is losing against the elevation mechanisms AI and as a last ditch effort he gets the Delivery Man to activate the wormhole, but it it ultimately futile, for the AI will not be beaten. Marius is fighting the borderguards as they keep on coming in, with only hawking m-sinks doing any good against them.
It is then that his sensors pick up the wormhole opening between the planet and the station the Delivery Man is at and he knows — is certain — that it is for the elevation mechanism. With that he jumps to the star and launches two novabombs at it before jumping into hyperspace and fleeing the system.
Thirty seconds before they detonated, Marius was already outside the Anomine system. The nova would eliminate the power station, then go on to wipe out the Anomine homeworld minutes later. Gore would never reach postphysical status now. The Accelerator objective was safe. Edeard is standing in the plaza as he watches the Firstlife, Ilanthe, and the group around him, while Gore is full of anguish at failing at the one mission he needed to complete. The Firstlife then questions them, asking who they are, and while the group struggles to explain in a way that it understands Troblum steps forward to tell it that while it may have been the first to evolve in the galaxy, it was not the last and now many different species populate the stars.
They tell it that the Void is destroying them with its expansion, that it must stop to save everything outside.
Ilanthe and the group argue, with her continuing to try and persuade the Firstlife to give it the Voids governing parameters. But then…. The Delivery Man sees the quantum signatures of the novabombs and flings the Last Throw into hyperspace to escape the nova. On the planet Gore apologises to Tyzak, telling him that humans did this, but Tyzak does not blame him.
As this happens the Anomine city comes to life and Anomine start appearing all across the plaza in their hundreds, then thousands. Gore tells the Delivery Man to go home, shuts down all links except the dream. His dream showed him Justine with an expression of alarm spreading over her beautiful face.
She knew. Justine is clearly upset at what she knows is about to happen, and as it does Gore shares all experiences of his elevation to the Firstlife, who in turn shares it with the Heart. Edeard then tells it that it must choose. It is why we created this place; it is what we aspired to so long ago. Anything else would betray all we were, all we aspired to. It could never be any other way. The entirety of the loop was taken, absorbed below the boundary.
The ridge began to retreat. Then the Void itself was shrinking. The impenetrable cloak that had defeated nature for so long fell away, and the Void lay naked at the core of the galaxy. The Raiel warships move in to see what was left: virtually nothing. No light, radiation, or nebula. Right at the center they found a single star shining bright, with a lone H-congruous planet in orbit. And one of their own. The setting is primarily Seattle, Washington around Halloween in , five years after the events of Running with the Demon.
Alive, its expansion is barely contained. It picks up years later, in the 39th century. They intend to enter the Void, and live on the planet Querencia.
