Peter F. Hamilton : un créateur d'univers dans la lignée des plus grands, Isaac Asimov, Dan Simmons, Frank Herbert... Le Dieu nu est le troisième et dernier volet de la trilogie L'Aube de la nuit. L'ensemble constitue un unique roman foisonnant, une fresque exubérante et impétueuse, admirablement construite, dont l'écriture a pris plus de six années à l'auteur. Entre La Guerre des étoiles et Dune, une gigantesque épopée interstellaire, sans doute la plus ambitieuse jamais publiée. Une rupture dans le réel a permis aux morts de revenir à la vie en s'emparant du corps des vivants.

Now, someone is toying with us and threatening to break up our newfound happiness. Not happening. I will pull out all the stops, because I meant what I said…. No one messes with what’s mine without me getting revenge.

I met fallen angel princes; I met a Savage Duke; I met a Cheshire Cat. And remember - how could you possibly forget - I'm the fabled Alice from the prophecy.

But now that I've met the King of Hearts and the Mad Hatter, I'm not sure who the real bad guys are.

Redemption isn’t a word Jim Heron knows much about—his specialty is revenge, and to him, sin is all relative. But everything changes when he becomes a fallen angel and is charged with saving the souls of seven people from the seven deadly sins. And failure is not an option. Vin diPietro surrendered himself to his business—until fate intervenes in the form of a tough-talking, Harley-riding, self-professed savior, and a woman who makes him question his destiny.

Hamilton a joué sur tous les registres du space opera qu'il renouvelle largement (et sur quelques autres) : Alexandre Dumas dans les étoiles, en quelque sorte... À la fin du 26e siècle, une partie de la Galaxie est colonisée par les humains qui ont dû essaimer à partir de la Terre, à la fois surpeuplée et dévastée par la pollution. L'espèce humaine est dispersée entre des dizaines d'étoiles autour desquelles elle occupe soit des habitats (villes artificielles de l'espace), soit des astéroïdes, soit des planètes.

Dick Morrison's life has become a nightmare of addictions, filling his days with overeating, overworking, and smoking way too much. When an old friend tells him about a surefire way to quit, he's more than willing to give it a shot. But what Dick doesn't know is that Quitters, Inc. demands a high price from anyone who strays from their rigid rules-like a few volts of electricity for the nearest and dearest... or maybe a missing thumb?

That is, until an opportunity came along for him to prove his worth.
