The Confederation
Handbook

Peter F. Hamilton
A DF Books NERDтАЩs Release
 The NightтАЩs 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. HamiltonтАЩs 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.
