A series of Science Fiction novels written by Peter F. Hamilton.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Commonwealth Saga starts off in the 24th century, where cybernetics and biotechnology have advanced to the point where immortality becomes optional. Wormhole technology has also been developed, allowing easy transportation through space. The series itself is a space opera with Loads and Loads of Characters.The series includes the books Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Misspent Youth takes place a century or two earlier in the same universe but is usually excluded from the "Saga" designation, including on the author's website, since the plot is unrelated. The Saga is followed 1500 years later by the Void Trilogy and the Chronicle Of The Fallers, which take place roughly in parallel. Together these series comprise the "Commonwealth Universe".Tropes specific to one of the books should be listed on that book's page. Use this page for tropes that describe the Commonwealth Saga as a whole.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Sentient Intelligence is not evil. However, it will choose odd times and places to intervene. This sometimes comes off as a Hand Wave, but when done well it adds to the idea that the SI has an alien perspective on things that humans cannot comprehend.

Absolute Xenophobe: The Primes are this. Primes exist as sentient, immobile "immotiles" that control vast armies of sub-sentient "motiles" and battle each other for resources and out of paranoia. You can guess what happened when they started building nukes. Also, the moment one of them discovers wormhole technology, it exterminates all others and starts building a vast fleet in order to kill off every single living thing in the universe, other than itself. Its own psychology and lack of imagination prevent it from realising the utter futility of its endeavour until it is far too late for it.

Alien Kudzu: The Primes flood local waters with their base cells, which are essential to reproduction; these invasive organisms kill off most other things that are in the water with them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
