About the Author :
Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland in 1960, and still lives near Rutland Water with his wife and daughter. He began writing in 1987, and sold his first short story to Fear magazine in 1988. He has also been published in Interzone and the In Dreams and New Worlds anthologies, and several small-press publications. His previous novels include the Greg Mandel series: Mindstar Rising, A Quantum Murder and The Nano Flower and the 'Night's Dawn' trilogy: The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God, which established him as Britain's bestselling writer of science fiction and a major name in global science fiction writing. In recent years his 'Commonwealth Saga', which consists of the novels Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained has reaffirmed in standing in the world of science fiction. His twelve novels and one handbook (a vital guide to the 'Night's Dawn' trilogy) have sold well over two million copies worldwide.
