Lawrence Newton always dreamed of adventure amongst the stars. Now the ultimate prize is within his grasp, but what will he risk to get it?

Lawrence is the sergeant of a washed-out platoon, taking part in the bungled invasion of yet another human colony world. The giant corporations call such campaigns 'asset realization', but in practice it's simple piracy.

When he's on the ground, being shot at and firebombed by resistance forces, he recalls stories of the Temple of the Fallen Dragon. Its priests supposedly guard a treasure hoard large enough to buy lifelong happiness. So Lawrence decides to mount a dangerous private-enterprise operation of his own.

Fallen Dragon is a classic standalone novel by science fiction star Peter F. Hamilton.

Reviews for Fallen Dragon

Absolutely vintage science fiction. Hamilton puts British sci-fi back into interstellar overdrive -- The Times One of Hamilton's best . . . the book is undeniably a page-turner and should provide many absorbing hours for the author's existing readers as well as a salutary introduction to a major SF author for a new audience -- Publishers Weekly A complex and gripping story, totally independent from his former work . . . For Hamilton fans this is a must-read. If you haven't read any Hamilton before, this is a good place to start -- SFBook The phrase modern master of science fiction is not to be lightly bestowed. Peter F. Hamilton has earned it -- John Scalzi
