From Little Stack
In Salvation, we’re introduced to “Jump Gates”, mysterious alien portals that give humanity access to wormholes that allow for interstellar travel. The fact that this portal is discovered at the site of a massacre means that layered atop the investigation of the technology is also a murder mystery: who built the gate and why are there so many corpses?
Throughout the series, we’re treated to multiple encounters with fascinating alien technology—that seems benevolent and beneficial at first, but may turn out to be something far worse than we might have expected.
Humanity's complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series. In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation—including starships—virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderful—until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem. Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamilton's Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game.
