Salvation Lost

Picking up the two timelines of Hamilton's Salvation sequence, this second volume follows both the near-future thread, where humanity's newly discovered portal technology has reshaped travel and, with it, first contact, and the far-future war being fought by genetically engineered soldiers against an enemy intent on harvesting every sentient species it finds. As both timelines edge closer to converging, the true scale of the threat that gives the trilogy its title starts to come into focus. Second novel in Peter F. Hamilton's Salvation trilogy, following Salvation.
