Peter F. Hamilton writes large-scale science fiction known for interstellar societies, long plots and many viewpoint characters. Pandora's Star begins the Commonwealth Saga with humanity linked by wormholes just as astronomers discover that a distant star has mysteriously vanished behind an artificial barrier. The story expands through politics, technology, alien threat and detective investigation across several worlds. The Night's Dawn trilogy combines space opera with a supernatural-seeming crisis involving the dead, while later series return to post-scarcity technology, rejuvenation and vast civilisations. Hamilton's books are long, detailed and plot-heavy, fitting space opera, far-future SF and multi-threaded science fiction for readers who enjoy very large casts and extensive world-building.
