Críticas:
" The depth and clarity of the future Hamilton envisions is as complex and involving as they come." -- "Publishers Weekly "(starred review) " The author's expansive vision of the future combines action and intrigue on a panoramic scale." "-- Library Journal "" Astounding . . . Thrilling . . . Hamilton uses technology to excellent effect." "-- Science Fiction Age "" Shows how thought-provoking yet entertaining science fiction can be. Some of the best fiction . . . in years." "-- Midwest Book Review "" [Hamilton is] taking on one of sf's (and maybe all of literature' s) primal jobs: the creation of a world with the scale and complexity of the real one." -- "Locus "" [Hamilton is] a rare talent."

Reseña del editor:
In AD 2329, humanity has colonised over four hundred planets, all of them interlinked by wormholes. With Earth at its centre, the Intersolar Commonwealth now occupies a sphere of space approximately four hundred light years across. When an astronomer on the outermost world of Gralmond, observes a star 2000 light years distant - and then a neighbouring one - vanish, it is time for the Commonwealth to discover what happened to them. For what if their disappearance indicates some kind of galactic conflict? Since a conventional wormhole cannot be used to reach these vanished stars, for the first time humans need to build a faster-than-light starship, the Second Chance. But it arrives to find each 'vanished' star encased in a giant force field -- and within one of them resides a massive alien civilisation.
