I'm giving away my Advance Reading Copy of Peter F. Hamilton's soon-to-be-released A Night Without Stars to one lucky winner! For more info about this title: Canada, USA, Europe.
Here's the blurb:
Bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton returns to his acclaimed Commonwealth series in this thrilling follow-up to The Abyss Beyond Dreams. Featuring Hamilton’s trademark blend of intricate plotting, riveting suspense, high-concept science, and vivid characters, A Night Without Stars brings the story to a fully satisfying finish.
After centuries trapped inside the Void, the planet Bienvenido—along with its inhabitants, both human and Faller—has been expelled into normal space. But the survivors are millions of light-years from the Commonwealth, which knows nothing of their existence. As the two races plunge into mortal conflict for sole possession of the planet, the humans seem destined to lose—despite the assistance of the mysterious Warrior Angel, who possesses forbidden Commonwealth technology.
With the Fallers’ numbers growing, and their ability to mimic humans allowing them to infiltrate all levels of society, it’s only a matter of time before they surge to victory. Then, on a routine space flight, Major Ry Evine inadvertently frees a captive vessel that crash-lands on Bienvenido carrying the last, best hope for human survival: a baby. But a far from ordinary one.
The child not only ages at a remarkable rate but demonstrates knowledge and abilities far beyond those of Bienvenido’s humans. Hunted by Fallers and humans alike, she is a crucial link to humanity’s lost past—and a glorious future already almost out of reach.

Just out of curiosity, what is the point of sending physical ARCs to reviewers in this day and age. You can sign a pdf with the recipients name so if it's re-distributed the person can be blacklisted, you can even lock a pdf to a specific machine, or create your own reader app either for a mobile or just online that only allows the reader to read through a password protected authentication wall. I'm sure Amazon would love to manage ARC ditribution to specific reviewers too and then pull the rights on the Kindle when the review period is over. Physical ARCs seems to be a very antiquated system with no security.
