A clone has been the victim of a savage killing. The investigation may uncover a threat to humanity's very existence.

Great North Road is a gripping space adventure from science fiction star Peter F. Hamilton, the author of The Night's Dawn trilogy. For fans of Philip K. Dick and Kim Stanley Robinson.


In Newcastle, AD 2142, a clone from the powerful North family is found brutally murdered. Assigned to the case, Detective Sidney Hurst makes a startlingly discovery: the circumstances are eerily identical to a series of murders from twenty years ago on the alien world of St Libra.

Angela Tramelo, the sole survivor of the previous attack, was convicted for the crime. Yet she never wavered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack. Was she telling the truth?

Investigating this alien threat becomes top priority and a vast expedition to the planet St Libra begins. Angela, begrudgingly released, accompanies them. But then the team finds themselves stranded in St Libra's dense alien rainforests. And then the bloodshed begins . . .

Filled with intrigue, suspense and alien threats, Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton is perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick and Kim Stanley Robinson.

Peter F. Hamilton was born in Rutland in 1960 and now lives in Somerset. He began writing in 1987, and sold his first short story to Fear magazine in 1988. He has written many bestselling novels, including the Greg Mandel series, the Night’s Dawn trilogy, the Commonwealth Saga, the Void trilogy, The Chronicle of the Fallers, short story collections and several standalone novels including Fallen Dragon and Great North Road.
