Be warned, though: almost everything he writes is a DoorStopper SpaceOpera with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, and in recent years this has only gotten more pronounced. It is also worth noting that almost ''everything'' he has written has been extremely well received.

Hamilton is known for blending SpaceOpera with [[MohsScaleOfSciFiHardness hard]] science-fiction, often combined with the bizarre. For example, his ''Night's Dawn'' trilogy is a SpaceOpera epic that takes a SpaceIsAnOcean approach that is pretty diamond hard on the scale, and throws in a plague of the souls of the returning dead.

The Messiah has been disambiguated between Messianic Archetype and All Loving Hero. Bad examples and ZCE are being removed; if you disagree, please readd with sufficient context.


The Void Trilogy is the latest series, taking place in the same continuity as the Commonwealth Saga, thousands of years later. The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is discovered to be an "artificial universe", the Void, that is gradually consuming the galaxy to fuel the outlandish MindOverMatter powers of its denizens. A major religious cult in the Commonwealth decides to pilgrimage into the Void, an action which might trigger an expansion that could destroy the galaxy. Oh, and TheMessiah can dream the life of Edeard, one of the humans that lived in the Void hundreds of years prior, and his sharing of these dreams are the foundation of his cult.

His Commonwealth Saga, on the other hand, takes the unusual approach of an interstellar PortalNetwork...based on railway travel: taking a train from a station on one planet and arriving at a station on another. Spaceships don't come into play until seriously long distances need to be covered. Oh, and then there's the unstoppable galactic-scale AlienInvasion taking out dozens of star systems at a time.
