The Night's Dawn Trilogy	comment	The Night's Dawn trilogy is an epic Space Opera series written by British author Peter F. Hamilton. This Doorstopper of a series was released as three immense novels in Britain; The Reality Dysfunction (1996), The Neutronium Alchemist (1997) and The Naked God (1999). Each volume was broken into two, slightly more manageable books when it was released in the States; The Reality Dysfunction into Emergence and Expansion, The Neutronium Alchemist into Consolidation and Conflict and The Naked God into Flight and Faith. More recent prints in the States have gone back to the three volume format, in all their 1000+ page gloryThe story is set in the 27th century, after humanity has developed faster-than-light travel through the use of artificial wormholes. Human society has been divided into two cultures that are more or less at peace with each other: Adamists, who are your typical space-going humans separated and diversified by living on a variety of worlds with different governments, economies and ecosystems, and the Edenists, who have genetically modified themselves to allow universal telepathy between each other, and their biotechnological (or bitek) constructs. Both are loosely bound in The Confederation, which also includes two species of sentient aliens (or xenocs).Some friction exists between Adamists and Edenists, because Edenism's universal use of the "affinity gene" has led them to cheat death (sort of) by storing their memories and personalities indefinitely in bitek space habitats, and they are socialists who breed synthetic lifeforms instead of building machines. These practices were condemned by the unified Pope and other religious leaders long ago. In addition, due to the versatility of bitek, Edenists maintain a near-complete monopoly on Helium-3, the fusion fuel used everywhere in human space. Adamists, on the other hand, are far closer to the typical human civilization of space opera, making use of mild genetic engineering to cure diseases and relying on nanotechnology implants to link themselves to their technology and each other. Many conversations in the book take place using this form of technological telepathy ("datavising") or the Edenists' form of actual telepathy.The dense and multi-threaded plot follows too many characters to note here, but runs the gamut from simple, pre-industrial settlers to the obligatory starship captains, through onto kings of interstellar empires and even the sentient bitek minds of orbital habitats. The story concerns humanity's trials and tribulations when... get this: the souls of the dead begin forcefully possessing the bodies of the living. The premise, while fantastic, is actually treated as a natural (albeit poorly understood) phenomenon. As for the novels' SF hardness, space is treated like space while retaining some elements of Space Is an Ocean (like navies and pirates and so forth), and most futuristic technologies are described in believable detail.This series is so long and far-reaching that it can't help but run flush up against a million and one SF tropes, in most cases smashing through them, or on the other hand, playing them so straight (and cool) that you'll wonder why they never worked as well before.

Secondly, Lalonde was also an attempt to produce a joint colony between humanity and the Tyrathca, the latter species desiring to settle on the planet to farm its native rygar bushes.

In a hard sci-fi, this would make sense. Unfortunately, it is something much worse. When it hits Norfolk, it is similarly mistaken for a re-emergence of a communist uprising that happened ten years ago. The militias sent to contain the “uprising” are only added to the growing ranks of the dead.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_211eedd	comment	All Crimes Are Equal: Earth's population is so huge, and its cities so desperately overcrowded, any and all crimes with a guilty verdict tend to result in the convict being Sentenced to Down Under as manual labor on colony worlds that have just been established. To be noted that particularly serious crime gets you sent to a penal colony, way worse than just a period of forced labour in a normal colony. Deconstructed in that despite having practiced this policy for centuries, the overcrowding is still an apocalyptic issue - especially since the selection pressure has made most Earthers so meek and hidebound they're more likely to commit suicide than any other crime. Thus, Govcentral is sponsoring organized crime - in the form of the ultra-violent "Light Bringer" cults - simply to increase the number of criminals they can deport.

In three years' time, they grow to adult form, a cross between a snail and a deep-sea anemone. They venture onto the ground and eat the memory fruit left behind by the previous generation of Ly-ciplh; the nodes contain the memories of previous generations, elevating them to sentience. They spend the next 6 years learning and observing the world around them until the 9-year mark, when a periodic flux tube discharge from the gas giant dumps enough energy on the planet for them to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, free to roam the Universe forever, gathering knowledge. Also, the "Tinkerbell species" encountered when the settlement on Ombey is taken to another dimension. They grew bored with the physical Universe and left it seeking something more exciting. Presumably, the fate of the species that constructed the titular Naked God, assuming they are not the "Tinkerbell species". It claims to have been built for such purposes.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: A couple. Nyvan, both before and after Quinn Dexter has his way with it. Before it was divided into rabidly nationalistic and xenophobic nation states that where openly hostile to one another and went out of their way to destroy each other's economies, rendering the entire planet impoverished. About 50,000 people a year leave the planet with next to nobody immigrating to replace them, and since the only people who can afford to leave are middle class professionals, the planet as a whole also suffers from a constant brain drain, further retarding economic development. So intense is the mistrust between the different countries, that Nyvan doesn't even have a single global internet, with each nation maintaining its own communications network, and not even attempting link with their neighbors. There isn't even a pretense of planetary government, no UN type body, and only three of the planet's over 20 nations are even members of the Confederation, instead, the planet is dominated by a complex and shifting system of alliances lead by the "big four" planetary powers, Tonala, (the wealthiest and most developed nation, officially a democracy, but in actual fact a single party state dominated by wealthy industrialists) Isfahan, (A fundamentalist Muslim Theocracy that's already conquered three other nations) Nazareth, (A fundamentalist Christian Theocracy) and New Georgia, (A federal republic based on the model of the old United States, and the only one of the "big four" nations that's actually a full democracy.) The lack of a centralised planetary government and the constant threat of war made the planet a magnet for organised crime, pirates, and mercenaries. Afterwards it became literally uninhabitable. Earth is hell. Fusion reactors provide energy literally "too cheap to meter" — priced by subscription instead of consumption — and have annihilated atmospheric and water pollution, but the heat from forty billion humans living in first-world conditions has altered weather patterns to non-stop Cat-5 hurricanes. The population has sheltered themselves in a dozen or Arcologes. They are so overpopulated that all activities are restricted to semi-functional schedules; basically, low-security prisons where All Crimes Are Equal; any conviction for any crime results in deportation at the individual's expense, to be repaid through Indentured Servitude on whatever terracompatible rock Govcentral decides to dump you on.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_2af7961	comment	Faster-Than-Light Travel: Wormholes - see our Our Wormholes Are Different for more information on them. Notably, there are two different ways of creating them for use in FTL travel. The most common way is through the use a ZTT (Zero Temporal Transit) Drive to artificially generate them. Most ZTT Drives have a maximum range of 21 light-years, so longer distances will require the ship to recharge at each exit point. Bitek ships, meanwhile, will use their own distortion fields to generate one. Their maximum range is 12 light-years. However, they can recharge faster than their metal counterparts and have greater control over their own inertia, allowing more seamless runs. The distortion field from biteks is also capable of cutting off other ships from their own wormholes, making voidhawks a desired recruit amongst the Adamist-majority Confederacy wishing to sign ships up for anti-pirate tours.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_31c5e7fb	type	Starfish Aliens
The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_31c5e7fb	comment	Starfish Aliens: A trademark of Hamilton's sci-fi is that all aliens are bizarre and have non-human mentalities. The Kiint are like giant philosophical caterpillars with one subspecies resembling whales While the Tyrathca vary greatly in appearance depending on caste, breeders resemble a cross between centaurs (four hooved feet and two arms, a horse-like mane of "Hair") and some kind of insect (Antenna, compound eyes, a "dust" like coating similar to that found on the wings of a moth). Female breeders also have multiple sets of ovaries, each producing a different kind of egg, with a different chromosome count, that hatches into a different caste. Psychologically, Tyrathca breeders are phlegmatic, unimaginative and incapable of telling a lie. While Breeder children are known to show the entire human range of emotions, adult Breeders have only a few emotions, namely love for their children and monogamous breeding partner, Crippling suicidal depression over the death of their breeding partner, anger over territorial violations, and indifferent contentment over pretty much everything else. Other castes (excepting the Soldier Caste, which is almost as intelligent as the Breeders) are little more then beasts of burden, lacking the intelligence to do anything more then the tasks they evolved to do. Their entire society is shaped into a rigid hierarchical caste system with it's own social rules. For example, Only Breeder children nurse from the Breeder Females, the rest nurse from the males AND females of the "Nurse" caste, which the breeders use like a human would use a cow. It can't be over stated just how incredibly different the Tyrathca Breeder's way of thinking is from a human's. All the knowledge of the entire race is passed on, unchanged from one Tyrathca to another through chemical encoding, but often times they'll not make use of this knowledge, and act like they don't even have it until they feel it's needed. For example, even though they have knowledge of both nuclear fusion and computers from the time they spent on board the Arc Ships, they stopped using them once they settled on their new planet, only to start using them again almost immediately when they made contact with humans. For centuries, humans believed that the Tyrathca didn't have a religion because they were never observed taking part in religious activity. Turns out they've had religion all this time, they just never felt the need to pray to their God until the possession crisis. The extinct Laymil are tri-symmetric, with 3 legs, 3 sensor heads and 3 arms, 3 "mouths" (one for breathing in, one for exhaling and speaking, and one for eating); their society is a bit like a Hive Mind. In a bizarre subversion, they also wear clothes. The Mosdva resemble zero-G-adapted sea horses, the Tinkerbell creatures are like floating omnipotent crystals, and the Orgathe... we don't talk about them. Averted with the Jiciro, which the Confederation handbook describes as being bipedal humanoids, But taller and thinner than humans, and having elongated limbs. They also have a higher vocal range, capable of producing sounds with pitches both above, and below the human ear's ability to perceive.

It could be argued that each race has the technology it does because it didn't have the other, as both are in essence a different solution to the same problem of resource scarcity. The human solution to scarce resources was to go somewhere else and look for them, the Mosdva solution was to stay where they were, but to more efficiently exploit the few resources that remain. Once this was solved in the short term, neither species had the need to develop the other technology. The humans, having FTL never needed to develop solar mining technology to acquire resources, as they could just jump to another system and set up mining colonies, whereas the Mosdva, having solar mining technology never had as much of an immediate need to develop FTL drive because why go elsewhere when the local sun provides them with all the energy and matter, they need? (However, harvesting their sun is a slow and limited process which barely supplies their matter needs; hence Mosdva's eagerness to obtain FTL technology from humans.)

The B7 people do a body-to-body version, incinerating the old body when they download to a new one. Those races that have survived discovering the true nature of physical death do not consider these to be any sort of immortality, since your soul goes off and does whatever it was supposed to do when your body dies anyway. These all produce a new person, which may have a soul of their own. This troubles the B7 people considerably when they find out that it means the afterlife has multiple versions of them, from each point they changed bodies.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_4612ec70	comment	No Transhumanism Allowed: Attempted, but ultimately failed. Part of the Back Story is that Genetic Engineering led to the creation of a completely synthetic "affinity gene" that conveyed telepathy. The Fundamentalists had a colossal freak-out upon discovering that affinity permitted Brain Uploading - and that the creator of affinity did so specifically to make humans Outgrow Such Silly Superstitions. Why go to church to save your soul if Death Is Cheap? Unfortunately for him, the Catholic/Protestant split had healed by the time he succeeded, meaning a papal decree of excommunication (AKA "God Hates Freaks") held about as much weight as a Presidential declaration of war. The only reason it didn't result in a war was because the breakthrough occurred on a newly-independent space colony orbiting Jupiter. Instead, it resulted in a culture split; the fundies declared themselves "Adamists", named for the biblical Adam, who was "Pure". The augmented declared themselves "Edenists", mocking their opponents. Edenists then developed "bitek" to incredible levels; Organic Technology is commonplace, and their Living Ships outperform baseline vessels easily. Even their space stations are organic and sentient. In the face of such developments, the Adamists were forced to develop nanotechnology just to keep from being left behind, resulting in equally prevalent cybernetics. Super Soldiers are common, often bearing modular arms with gun attachments and extra forearms for More Dakka, and even totally bionic bodies with crazy-ass ceramic-gel skin. Dedicated spacers or "cosmoniks" casually let their bodies atrophy in microgravity or "astrophy", replacing organs as they fail until only the brain remains human, taking the Rule of Cool to a new height. The implication is that transhumanism is inevitable.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_56b53152	comment	Green Aesop: A Central Theme, although it's only implied until the very end; Earth has become uninhabitable outside domed cities. It's not even due to air or water pollution; fusion reactors have made fissionables — let alone burning carbon fuels — as quaint as knapping flint, and purifying water is just a matter of energy. The catch is that there's no solution for heat pollution save to not use energy. Between choosing to live in picturesque squalor and maintaining an industrial lifestyle, humans decided to move to cities and fortify them against Hostile Weather that has become so fierce it is capable of stripping topsoil down to bedrock. This process is repeating itself on every world humans colonize. Eventually, the Kiint point out that this is part of the reason they are refusing to aid in the possession crisis; they cracked Matter Replicators millennia ago, enabling them to return their blighted homeworld to pastoral splendor while maintaining their quality of life, terraform barren worlds to their desires and basically live a "post urban" existence wherever they please. As a result, their encounter with the Beyond was as simple as cloning new bodies for their possessed to live in until they were psychologically stable enough to Go into the Light. Calvert - realizing that humans would never do the same as long as there are terracompatible planets to exploit - thus uses the powers of the Sleeping God to teleport every human planet and habitat to an isolated area in intergalactic space, forcing them to make the discovery themselves or die trying.

It is used as a soul-killer weapon against the possessed, killing both the possessing soul and the original host. Originally, the technology was used to imprint memories, knowledge and experience into people as a form of fast education, that eventually replaced schools and universities.

Edenists are overwhelmingly atheists, however.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_67f26dcc	comment	Planet of Hats: The Confederation practices what they call "Ethnic Streaming"; planets are specifically stated to be Christian-ethnic, Islamic-ethnic, Jewish-ethnic, Hindi-ethnic, etc. At first, Earth's government-sponsored extrasolar colonization on a cosmopolitan basis; immigration was controlled so numerous ethnic groups were represented equally. This experiment came to a crashing end when these colonies erupted into religious conflicts, which were only solved when the minorities immigrated to planets where they were the majority. Nyvan — the closest terracompatible world to Earth — is the worst case; the planet has been ravaged by nonstop holy wars right up until the possessed showed up and conquered the whole planet. After those initial failures, colonies were sponsored by specific nations and corporations, which limited colonization to their own ethnic groups. These were much more successful, and by the time the trilogy begins, it's commonly accepted that only an idiot would expect multiple ethnic groups to share a planet peacefully. A similar idea would be "separateness" AKA "Apartheid".

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_83856158	comment	Worthless Yellow Rocks: Played Straight and inverted with the Mosdva. The Mosdva live in massive "disk cities" made out of old asteroids that survived their sun's expansion into a Red Supergiant. Since all the system's planets where destroyed, and every last bit of the original asteroids where mined out and used to build the disk cities, the only way the Mosdva, lacking FTL travel, can gain new resources is to mine their sun for hydrogen and then use fusion to transform it into other elements. Since Iron is the heaviest element that can be created without a supernova, it's considered the most valuable, with one character proclaiming that an FTL drive would be worth "more than the sun's mass in iron", or in other words "more valuable than a chunk of the most valuable material know to our civilization, the size of the largest object known to our civilization." However, since carbon is much easier to create through fussion, and the Mosdva have the industrial capacity to convert it into diamond, it's commonly used in a number of Mosdva technologies, with Iron being limited to upper-class bling, since apparently, the Mosdva don't need it biologically the way humans do.

A human exploratory vessel jumped into their outpost star system and noticed the "Triad" of moons orbiting one of the planets in perfect symmetry and balance. It was obviously artificial, so they sent a greeting and offer of friendship to the surface. The answer came less than a minute later, in English: "YES!". Turns out that a) that is not the Kiint home planet, but an outpost they had in our galaxy, b) the Triad was an "old experiment" (their home system has a large number of habitable planets all sharing the same orbit), and c) they've been watching humanity since around the first century AD through immortal Artificial Human agents.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_d51553de	comment	Our Wormholes Are Different: They're short-lived (0.005 seconds at most) and have a pitch-black event horizon. They come in spherical (for Adamist, technological ships) and portal-like (for Bitek starships) varieties, and God helps you and your ship if you touch the edges. The bitek habitat Tranquility can create a humongous one in order to escape immediate danger, in the same manner as voidhawks and blackhawks. That "trick" took everyone by surprise. There's also something called a "Fantasy Wormhole" at one point. It's implied to be a recreational device with a nice name, and it most likely involves sex. There's also that portal-like time-travelling variety that Joshua's father Marcus encounters in the derelict alien ship.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_d72929ed	comment	Afterlife Antechamber: The Naked God reveals that The Beyond is actually the "place" where souls go when they can't accept their death and desire to continue living as they did. The souls have the power to turn wish into reality, but since they are dead, they can't interact with the universe and are stuck in a sort of semi-perceptive limbo, along with uncountable others, and because they still crave the sensations of life, they can only leech on each other's memories for the faint traces of life they contain. The real afterlife is the Omega Point, the final end of the Universe where all souls go to merge with each other and create a new Universe, but going there can only happen if one accepts death and leaves their old existence behind. Everyone else is stuck in the Beyond, taking The Slow Path to the end of the Universe and shrieking in agony all the while.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_d7e7326c	type	Spare Body Parts
The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_d7e7326c	comment	While the Tyrathca vary greatly in appearance depending on caste, breeders resemble a cross between centaurs (four hooved feet and two arms, a horse-like mane of "Hair") and some kind of insect (Antenna, compound eyes, a "dust" like coating similar to that found on the wings of a moth). Female breeders also have multiple sets of ovaries, each producing a different kind of egg, with a different chromosome count, that hatches into a different caste. Psychologically, Tyrathca breeders are phlegmatic, unimaginative and incapable of telling a lie. While Breeder children are known to show the entire human range of emotions, adult Breeders have only a few emotions, namely love for their children and monogamous breeding partner, Crippling suicidal depression over the death of their breeding partner, anger over territorial violations, and indifferent contentment over pretty much everything else. Other castes (excepting the Soldier Caste, which is almost as intelligent as the Breeders) are little more then beasts of burden, lacking the intelligence to do anything more then the tasks they evolved to do. Their entire society is shaped into a rigid hierarchical caste system with it's own social rules. For example, Only Breeder children nurse from the Breeder Females, the rest nurse from the males AND females of the "Nurse" caste, which the breeders use like a human would use a cow. It can't be over stated just how incredibly different the Tyrathca Breeder's way of thinking is from a human's. All the knowledge of the entire race is passed on, unchanged from one Tyrathca to another through chemical encoding, but often times they'll not make use of this knowledge, and act like they don't even have it until they feel it's needed. For example, even though they have knowledge of both nuclear fusion and computers from the time they spent on board the Arc Ships, they stopped using them once they settled on their new planet, only to start using them again almost immediately when they made contact with humans. For centuries, humans believed that the Tyrathca didn't have a religion because they were never observed taking part in religious activity. Turns out they've had religion all this time, they just never felt the need to pray to their God until the possession crisis.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_dcac10e4	comment	Tidally Locked Planet: The Ly-cilph home planet is a hybrid case: it's a moon tidally locked to the planet it orbits; it thus experiences one solar day with respect to the primary star for every orbit around the planet. But it orbits a young, hot "super-Jupiter" (bordering on being a brown dwarf) which glows in the near-infrared and red. This gives rise to a less extreme version of the climate duality experienced by planets that are tidally locked to their stars. The nearside biome is dominated by plants that exploit the always present red light of the planet; the farside has plants adapted to use just the yellow light of the primary star, with long nights.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_e0309d03	comment	Slave Race: All other Tyrathca castes are this to the Breeders. The Mosdva were enslaved by other intelligent species from their home world on two separate occasions, first by the extinct Ridbat who were extremely warlike, and eventually killed themselves, and 70% of their planet's animal species through the use of nuclear and biological weapons, and more recently by the Tyrathca. This has instilled them with a species wide hatred of the Tyrathca so intense, that the first thing the Mosdva can think of to do with FTL drive is invade Tyrathca colonies and commit genocide on them. The only Tyrathca that still live on the Mosdva disk cities are only allowed to do so because they possess weapons that could destroy the entire disk city, and wouldn't hesitate to use them if their territory near the center of the disk city is ever threatened, resulting in a fragile peace that has lasted thousands of years.

It's a mystery for everyone how they managed to build the ark that helped them leave their home system when their star, Mastrit-PJ, turned into a red giant. Also, the Jiciro and the Mosdva. It is revealed by the Mosdva that both they and the Tyrathca evolved on the same planet. The Mosdva used to be slaves of a previous warlike species that exterminated itself, and they had a way with machinery and technology but were physically weak. The Tyrathca were strong herd animals that had only recently achieved sentience, and they enslaved the Mosdva themselves, forcing them to build the Arkships and leaving them to die on the planet when they were done. Bad move for the Tyrathca, because they couldn't repair their own vessels, and the Mosdva built massive diskcities around their dying star and survived.

The Kulu Kingdom (actually a benign interstellar empire) is the second most powerful Adamist faction (after Earth) and behaves with remarkable competence in handling possession outbreaks on their planets. It doesn't really help them; see the bit about a peninsula vanishing into another dimension. Similar to the Kulu Kingdom is the Oshanko Imperium, another interstellar empire, and another major Adamist power, but this time made up of Japanese Ethnic worlds (as opposed to Kulu's Christian/European Ethnic make-up) and ruled by the Emperor of Oshanko, who's a descendent of the Japanese Imperial family on Earth, in much the same way as the Kulu royal family is descendent from the European royal families.

Louise Kavanagh goes to London because she's unfamiliar with Earth, but as her planet is based on 19th Century England the name at least is familiar. However as the land outside the arcologies has been devastated by the armada storms and other ecological damage, it's likely that for all practical purposes the arcology of London really is all of Britain.

The Night's Dawn Trilogy / int_eef85d73	comment	Nyvan, both before and after Quinn Dexter has his way with it. Before it was divided into rabidly nationalistic and xenophobic nation states that where openly hostile to one another and went out of their way to destroy each other's economies, rendering the entire planet impoverished. About 50,000 people a year leave the planet with next to nobody immigrating to replace them, and since the only people who can afford to leave are middle class professionals, the planet as a whole also suffers from a constant brain drain, further retarding economic development. So intense is the mistrust between the different countries, that Nyvan doesn't even have a single global internet, with each nation maintaining its own communications network, and not even attempting link with their neighbors. There isn't even a pretense of planetary government, no UN type body, and only three of the planet's over 20 nations are even members of the Confederation, instead, the planet is dominated by a complex and shifting system of alliances lead by the "big four" planetary powers, Tonala, (the wealthiest and most developed nation, officially a democracy, but in actual fact a single party state dominated by wealthy industrialists) Isfahan, (A fundamentalist Muslim Theocracy that's already conquered three other nations) Nazareth, (A fundamentalist Christian Theocracy) and New Georgia, (A federal republic based on the model of the old United States, and the only one of the "big four" nations that's actually a full democracy.) The lack of a centralised planetary government and the constant threat of war made the planet a magnet for organised crime, pirates, and mercenaries. Afterwards it became literally uninhabitable.

The planet that the Confederation knows of is just an outpost in our galaxy and the accepted explanation for its almost complete lack of infrastructure is that the Kiint got so advanced that they grew bored with big technology. The Tinkerbell aliens and the creators of the Sleeping God are even more advanced than the Kiint. Both have learned how to create Naked Singularity Gods and have used them to leave the universe in search of something more interesting. The Sleeping God states that it had nothing to offer the Kiint that which they could not get for themselves, and that, in time, they would learn how to create its kind as well.
