The Commonwealth Saga is a science fiction series by British author Peter F. Hamilton set within the Intersolar Commonwealth, a future interstellar civilization spanning hundreds of worlds connected by wormholes. It comprises two primary novels: Pandora's Star, published in 2004, and Judas Unchained, published in 2005. The series explores themes such as alien infiltration, the fear of advanced technology, and the challenges of human survival in the face of external threats. Characters navigate political intrigue and cosmic-scale dangers while confronting ethical dilemmas arising from contact with unknown alien forces. The series is part of a larger fictional universe, with Misspent Youth set 340 years before the events of Pandora's Star and the Void Trilogy—The Dreaming Void, The Temporal Void, and The Evolutionary Void—occurring 1,200 years after Judas Unchained, sharing some characters with the original two novels.
