Summary
SFX Magazine
Explore EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment featured in this epic novel from legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
A fight for freedom among the stars . . .
In a past age, humanity fled a dying Earth in massive ark ships. These searched the galaxy to find a new home. Then one fleet found Centauri, a dense cluster of stars teeming with habitable planets. Now, thousands of years later, Centauri’s settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials – and their great houses rule vast star systems.
As they vie for supremacy, Earth’s ark ships continue to arrive, and humans must serve these repressive masters. But is there a better life beyond the empire? Finn is a Centauri-born human and yearns for a brighter future. So, when another ark ship arrives, previously thought lost, Finn seizes the chance to become a Traveler. These heroes explore the vast unknowns of distant space, dedicated to humanity’s survival. And they hope – one day – to find freedom.
EXODUS is an action-adventure roleplaying game from Archetype Entertainment, led by industry veterans from BioWare (Mass Effect), 343 (Halo), Electronic Arts, Naughty Dog (The Last of Us) and other AAA studios.
Exodus: The Archimedes Engine is the first book in a duology by legendary author Peter F. Hamilton. It’s an original novel set in the universe of EXODUS and explores Hamilton’s richly-imagined worlds.

Cannot wait for the next part in the series!
Epic story! A true space opera!!
This is right up there with Iain M. Banks' "The Culture" universe. Hoping it spawns just as many books!

don't listen to the 'meh' review , this is an AWESOME story!
this story honestly feels like it could stand as multiple competent and exciting short stories! the ideas and concepts weaved over decades of time the story unfolds and characters grow and shift all on a backdrop of circa 40K years of human history is astonishing. I sat back several chapters and had to pause to take it all in!! it would be a magnificent crime if this novel is not taken up and made into a TV series or animated venture (think along the lines of Love, Death and Robots or Secret Level). just wow man, seriously amazing stuff, can highly recommend

A page turner
If you read the Commonwealth Saga, this is just as good as that. The book starts of with multiple strands and weaves then together beautifully at the end. A real page turner!

Interesting sci-fi but disjointed storytelling
Some interesting science-fiction in terms of the spread of humanity and evolution. One or two characters are presented as half interesting. However, the storytelling is quite disjointed and I’m struggling to finish the book without losing my concentration. The narrative is okay but can’t help the story..
