One of my favorite authors is Peter F. Hamilton. I listen to a lot of books on audio while driving, and he has so many characters and so much going on in his books, that I find it useful to reference a character list. I couldnt find one for TDV so I decided to make one for myself. SPOILER WARNING: my character descriptions may give clues/hints to plotlines in the book…
This list is Commonwealth Characters Only. Within the Void will be another post, also, I think I might arrange the list by planet and faction for a future post. If Im missing some characters/pertinent details please post in comments (I know Im missing some important aliens – will add later). This does not include Temporal Void Characters. That will also be a future post.
