Summary
In this incredible sequel to Pandora's Star, the Commonwealth Saga goes out with a bang. Judas Unchained is a stunning, expansive space opera from one of the world's bestselling science fiction writers, Peter F. Hamilton.
Our worlds are under invasion – and only the impossible can save us now . . .
Over hundreds of years, the human race has been manipulated into starting a war. And it's one that could destroy our entire civilization. Chief Investigator Paula Myo is nominated to hunt the creature behind this ploy, while our invasion continues and multiple worlds fall to the enemy. In response, Admiral Kime commands humanity's defense, marshaling war-ready super-weapons. Yet he discovers his adversaries wield equally powerful armaments.
The question is – where did these come from? Has the Commonwealth's top-secret defense project been compromised, or is the truth even worse than we can imagine?
The Commonwealth Saga duology starts with Pandora's Star.

Great story. Bad sound quality.
This is a great book. Just like the one the preceded it If not better. I like this narrator and would continue to listen to these books through him. **Just be warned that the quality of this recording is terrible. Not what I expect from audible. It’s very soft so you have to make it very loud. It also sounds like there was quiet a lot of post editing. Narration volume changes. Sometimes even sounding like a different person or the narrator having a bad cold.

this its one heck of an epic
author does well to alternate between strategic and deep. wide ranging story and plot descriptions mixed with following lots of individuals.
I only really understood who everyone was halfway through the second book, the cast is a bit too large to keep track of without a diagram to be honest.
this is a great story, not an easy read but when you can focus on it the story is compelling. good for when you don't want to spend a credit next month because this is a 2 month listen

Excellent Conclusion
Picks up from Pandora’s Star and relentlessly drives to the finish. This was my second read through and I picked up more of the hidden plot this time. A well written and tightly plotted story.

Brilliant
A brilliant branched story line continuing from the previous title in the series. It all comes together in a very satisfying ending.

Very detailed and compelling
Don't buy this unless you already have the first part. On the other hand, if you have the first part, then this is a must.
Incredible detail - all the loose strings (and some you didn't realise were loose) come together in the end. Great story, told in a very matter-of-fact way tht is very believeable.

Great story, flawed narration.
If you have listened to Pandora's Star, this is an absolute must. An epic conclusion to a story, so brilliantly brought to life by Peter F Hamilton.
Sadly, John Lee's narration is by comparison, rather poor. It was serviceable, but certain parts were made confusing by the lack of nuance between characters voices. The audio quality would also change mid sentence. Making it painfully obvious where re recordings had taken place. It didn't break the immersion totally. But the story suffered because of it.

Brilliant
I often judge whether a book is good or great by my willingness to revisit it. This book merits a revisit. In fact, so good was the audio book, I bought the paper copy too! The character development and pace of story is impecable and the author's description of 'his' future world is beguiling. This story carries on from Pandora's Star, which I have similarly read and recomend. I can recomend Peter Hamilton in general and this masterpiece in particular. It is well worth a credit!
