The Confederation
Handbook
Peter F. Hamilton
A DF Books NERD’s Release
The Night’s Dawn trilogy has been one of the most triumphant works of science
fiction to appear in decades. Swiftly gathering a worldwide readership, this
masterwork of cosmic imagination and storytelling amounts to more than 1,200,000
words in total, and has brought to life an entire galaxy of diverse planets and
astonishing civilizations.
At the core of this vast creation is the Confederation itself: an assembly of human
and alien colony worlds whose cultures, conflicts, and turmoils are described over a
Timeline of nearly six hundred years.
The Confederation Handbook is Peter F. Hamilton’s essential companion guide to
the diverse elements of the massive universe he has created. Here we have his
personal exposition of the Adamist and Edenist cultures; numerous alien races; a
battery of starships, weapons, and other technology; and a vast confederation of
planets and settlements. Also included is a full list of characters and their roles and, of
course, details of the Timeline itself.
Peter F. Hamilton began writing in 1987 and published a number of short stories as
well as three SF/detective novels before he wroteThe Reality Dysfunction and its
sequels. He was profiled byLocus magazine in 1998.
From the arcologies of Earth to the shards of the Ruin Ring, uncover the . . .
MYSTERIES OF THE NIGHT’S DAWN UNIVERSE
• Why is the Kulu Intelligence Service so feared?
• What are the differences between blackhawks and voidhawks?
• Why can’t the Weeping Rose be grown anywhere except on Norfolk?
• Why are Cosmoniks so modified, and are they all still human?
• What do Kiint really look like?
• Why is the Jiciro world off-limits?
• Why did the Nyvan colony collapse into war and anarchy?
• Why is life better in the Halo than on Earth?
The answers to these and many other questions are contained in a companion guide as
wondrous and revealing as only the epic scope of The Night’s Dawn could provide . .

THE CONFEDERATION HANDBOOK
ACCLAIM FOR PETER HAMILTON’S TRILOGY
THE REALITY DYSFUNCTION
THE NEUTRONIUM ALCHEMIST
THE NAKED GOD
“This series is taking on one of sf’s (and maybe all of literature’s) primal jobs: the creation of a world
with the scale and complexity of the real one.”
—Locus
“Hamilton’s imagination knows no bounds!”
—Science Fiction Weekly
“Hamilton’s joy in science-tethered flights of fancy is infectious.”
—Interzone
“Absolutely vintage science fiction. . . . Hamilton puts [sf] back into interstellar overdrive. An
intergalactic adventure story laced with ironies, insights, and held together by a transcending central
plot.”
—The Times(London)
“Eloquent and ingenious. . . . A host of believable characters deploy against rich descriptions of worlds
and living starships. Horror and heroism and even the humor are convincing. . . . Special effects run
riot. . . . It all hangs together compulsively.”
—Daily Telegraph(London)
“Brash, broad space opera with military hardware galore. Fast movement and dazzling invention.”
—Gregory Benford, author ofThe Martian Race
“Super-intelligent space opera, wrought by an author who knows his stuff . . . and it’s a rattling page-
turner, too. . . . An astonishing read crammed with golden-age wonders, but all depicted with an
intellectual toughness that marks this as a landmark work.”
—Stephen Baxter, author ofThe Time Ships
