In AD 2329, humanity has colonised over four hundred planets, all of them interlinked by wormholes. With Earth at its centre, the Intersolar Commonwealth now occupies a sphere of space approximately four hundred light years across. When an astronomer on the outermost world of Gralmond, observes a star 2000 light years distant - and then a neighbouring one - vanish, it is time for the Commonwealth to discover what happened to them. For what if their disappearance indicates some kind of galactic conflict? Since a conventional wormhole cannot be used to reach these vanished stars, for the first time humans need to build a faster-than-light starship, the Second Chance. But it arrives to find each 'vanished' star encased in a giant force field -- and within one of them resides a massive alien civilisation.

Pandora's Star- good read
I read this series in reverse. I started with the Temporal Void, then read the Dreaming Void and then went on to Pandora's Star. To stay out of phase, I should have read Judas Unchained first.
I really enjoyed living inside these books. The characters are well developed and you build a relationship with them. The themes are rich and intricate. If you don't like keeping track of a slew of characters and multiple plots, don't read these books.

Great book
I really enjoyed this book. It is a unique take on multi-solar system Humanity that does not rely on starships
