The Abyss beyond Dreams by Peter F Hamilton

🚀🚀🚀🚀 Book 1 in the Chronicle of the Fallers duology, which is part of the Commonwealth Saga. Loved 99% of it! Wasn't too keen on the pre-industrial setting in the Bienvenido planet, but Hamilton's gripping narrative meant I couldn't put the book down. Hamilton's storytelling never disappoints. After the Commonwealth saga and the Void trilogy we get even more interesting stuff, the universe, the science, the technology and the characters. So far Nigel Sheldon is one of my favourite scifi characters. He's lived for over 1 thousand years, in many bodies, sometimes digitised, always doing interesting things. I loved his first appearance in Pandora's Star and in this novel we see a different facet of his.
