What to expect

Six short stories and a novella from a master of science fiction, Peter F. Hamilton. This collection includes Sonnie's Edge, as seen in the award-winning Netflix anthology series Love, Death & Robots.

Read by Steven Crossley, narrator of C.J. Sansom's Shardlake series.


Set in the same universe as the Night’s Dawn trilogy, Peter F. Hamilton presents a compelling mix of human dilemmas, imagined technologies and extraordinary new cultures.

Among others, this collection includes Sonnie’s Edge, a story of contests to the death between constructed monsters. But one has a special advantage . . .

We also visit an abandoned alien spacecraft in Escape Route. Abandoned, but is it really as empty as it seems?

In the title novella, A Second Chance at Eden, the co-creator of a genetically-engineered habitat is found murdered. But nobody can identify the perpetrator – or the motive.

Featuring a diverse selection of stories set far in the future and beyond the stars, A Second Chance at Eden is a must-have collection from a writer at the top of his game.
