Fallen Dragon is a science-fiction novel by Peter F. Hamilton, published in 2001. Unlike most of his works, this is a standalone novel. In the 24th century, the age of interstellar travel is drawing to a close thanks to the hideous expense of travelling by starship. The remaining starships are repurposed by Earth-based mega corporations into the only venture that remains profitable: "asset realisation", or the pillaging of colony planets in debt to the aforementioned corporations for material to sell. The plot follows several different threads, all woven together in a non-linear fashion. These threads mostly revolve around the early and late life of Lawrence Newton, a colony-born boy who dreamed of piloting exploratory starships who eventually became a jaded soldier in the employ of the biggest megacorporation, Zantiu-Braun; Denise Ebourn, a resistance fighter on Thallspring, one of the planets Zantiu-Braun is intent on invading. Both have big plans for Z-B's next jaunt to Thallspring...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Casual Interstellar Travel: Averted. Starflight is dying out as it's simply too expensive to justify. The remaining starships are used by the corporations only to keep in contact with existing colonies and to participate in asset realization missions, the one thing that can balance the costs. The sole exception to this is Zantiu-Braun, who continue to found colonies through one-shot interstellar portals. Interstellar trade is non-existent, as Earth could easily reverse-engineer anything invented elsewhere. Santa Chico was the one exception to this rule, as its biotech industries were far in advance of Earth's. They stopped exporting when they no longer needed to fund the research necessary to properly live as part of Santa Chico's biosphere, and Zantiu-Braun bought out the debt-laden founding company with the aim of exploiting those highly profitable biotech assets. | |
