A Hole in The Sky: Arkship Trilogy Book I [Paperback]

From internationally bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton comes the first in a new, coming of age trilogy where life on a generation ship takes a turn for the worst when the delicate cycle of life is disturbed... A great read for fans of Alastair Reynolds and Miles Cameron.

THEIR LIFE IS A DREAM, THEIR WORLD IS DYING.

Hazel’s family live a simple life in their village. Just one of the communities on a vast generation ship on a centuries long journey to a new world. 500 years ago the machines stopped working and life since then has been frugal. But everyone plays their part. And when you reach 65 you are recycled – it’s only fair; you can’t work anymore and your resources are needed.

But not everyone is happy. Hazel encounters the Cheaters, a group who refuse to die for the ship. They have discovered the terrifying lie at the core of life on the ship and they will fight for the truth and for the lives of everyone.

Hazel has a choice to make…“A Hole in the Sky by SF master Peter F. Hamilton is coming-of-age adventure that rapidly turns into the Poseidon Adventure aboard a failing generation ship. It’s engaging, refreshing, and optimistic.”
– Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Dune: House Atreides

A Hole in the Sky is an excellent story, with a central mystery that builds tension throughout: the more you learn, the more you want to find out.”
– Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time

“The phrase 'modern master of science fiction' is not to be lightly bestowed. Peter F. Hamilton has earned it.”
