Misspent Youth is placed in the same universe as the Commonwealth Saga, though it is not integral to the storyline of those novels. Set approximately years later in the same universe as Misspent Youth, it explores the social effects of the almost complete elimination of the experience of death following widespread use of the rejuvenation technique described in Misspent Youth. In somewhat similar style to Night's Dawn, Hamilton also outlines, in detail, a universe with a small number of distinct alien species interacting essentially peacefully and who suddenly become faced with an increasingly ominous external threat.
Set in the same universe as the Commonwealth Saga, the Void Trilogy is set years after the end of Judas Unchained.
The release date for the first book, The Dreaming Void , was 3 August A time line that links the Commonwealth Saga with the Void Trilogy, filling in the year gap, has been written by Hamilton. The second book in the trilogy, The Temporal Void , was published in The third book in the trilogy, The Evolutionary Void , was published in August Hamilton announced in that he is developing a new trilogy. It is a return to his Commonwealth Universe, set in the same time-frame as the Void Trilogy, and tells the story of Nigel Sheldon and what happened when he broke into the Void.
On 19 March, both the cover art and release date for the first book, The Abyss Beyond Dreams, was unveiled. The book was published on 21 October A children's fantasy series also known as Book of the Realms. Taggie and Jemima are summer holidaying on their dad's farm. They know just what to expect—a tumbledown cottage, sunshine and strawberry-picking. But then Jemima sees a white squirrel wearing glasses… And things become even more extraordinary when their dad is captured and whisked away to a faerie world.
At the start of , Hamilton and his publishers Macmillan announced a brand-new trilogy set in an entirely new universe called 'The Salvation Sequence'. The three novels titled, Salvation, Salvation Lost and The Saint of Salvation Subsequent to that, on the 7th February , the author published the first chapter of book one titled, 'Salvation'. The premise of book one follows two branching story lines, the opening line is set two hundred years in the future during In this period humanity have developed near-instantaneous space travel via 'trans-dimensional gates', placing them throughout the galaxy.
The unintended consequence of this technology has made spaceships essentially redundant; however, when an unknown vessel is found on a recently explored world, a team of specialists are sent out to investigate both the craft and the astonishing contents therein. Meanwhile, the other story line will be set much farther in the future, the 51st century to be precise and follows a genetically engineered team of tier one special forces designed from the ground up to confront and destroy an age-old enemy, whose agenda is the total eradication of the human species.
His full-length novel, Fallen Dragon, is in many ways a condensation of the ideas and styles and even characters of the Night's Dawn trilogy, if rather darker in tone. The stand-alone book describes a bleak corporatist society dominated by five mega-corporations which wield almost unlimited power.
It describes the troubled military campaign by one of these companies to "realise assets" from a minor colony, through the eyes of a veteran mercenary. One of the more interesting aspects of the book was its unconventional description of a spacefaring society which has developed interstellar travel but only at vast expense, putting it out of the reach of many people and a one-way trip for most of the rest.

Hardcover — A hardcover or hardback book is one bound with rigid protective covers.
It has a flexible, sewn spine which allows the book to lie flat on a surface when opened, following the ISBN sequence numbers, books of this type may be identified by the abbreviation Hbk. Hardcover books are printed on acid-free paper, and are much more durable than paperbacks.
Hardcover books are more costly to manufacture. If brisk sales are anticipated, an edition of a book is typically released first. Some publishers publish paperback originals if slow hardback sales are anticipated, for very popular books these sales cycles may be extended, and followed by a mass market paperback edition typeset in a more compact size and printed on shallower, less hardy paper. In the past the release of an edition was one year after the hardback. It is very unusual for a book that was first published in paperback to be followed by a hardback, an example is the novel The Judgment of Paris by Gore Vidal, which had its revised edition of first published in paperback, and later in hardcover.
Hardcover books are sold at higher prices than comparable paperbacks. Hardcovers typically consist of a block, two boards, and a cloth or heavy paper covering. The pages are sewn together and glued onto a flexible spine between the boards, and it too is covered by the cloth, a paper wrapper, or dust jacket, is usually put over the binding, folding over each horizontal end of the boards.

Schuessler relates it to a DJ spinning bits of old songs to create a beat or a new song as opposed to just a remix of a familiar song. The inventor of the first e-book is not widely agreed upon and her idea behind the device was to decrease the number of books that her pupils carried to school.

The reference management service QuestionPoint provides libraries with tools to communicate with users and this around-the-clock reference service is provided by a cooperative of participating global libraries. OCLC has produced cards for members since with its shared online catalog. OCLC commercially sells software, e. In accordance with its mission, OCLC makes its research outcomes known through various publications and these publications, including journal articles, reports, newsletters, and presentations, are available through the organizations website.
