Hamilton's storytelling is both staggering and poetic . . . In his hands, the New Space Opera is locked and loaded -- <i>SFReviews</i> on <i>Pandora's Star</i> Anyone who begins this won't be able to put it down -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>Pandora's Star</i> The best book Hamilton has written in years -- <i>Guardian</i> on <i>Pandora's Star</i> A breathlessly entertaining experience to read . . . There's a sense of wonder here that's truly unchained -- <i>SFReviews</i> Massively bloody action sequences, betrayals galore, and near-miraculous last-minute escapes . . . Highly recommended -- <i>Starburst</i> If Pandora's Star represented a return to form, Judas Unchained is even better -- <i>Guardian</i>
