You need Salvation, my friend. Everyone needs salvation.\u201d\u2014Ian McDonald<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one offers action-packed, meticulous, suspenseful, and consistent high-tech futures better than Peter Hamilton, and Salvation cranks all of that up five notches.\u201d\u2014David Brin<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA gripping novel from one of the modern masters, Salvation is a must-read not just for sci-fi fans but for anyone who loves a great story well told.\u201d\u2014Jason M.
