The Night's Dawn Trilogy
British author Peter F. Hamilton's ''The Night's Dawn Trilogy'' consists of three science fiction novels: ''The Reality Dysfunction'' (1996), ''The Neutronium Alchemist'' (1997), and ''The Naked God'' (1999). A collection of short stories, ''A Second Chance at Eden'', shares the same universe, and ''The Confederation Handbook'' documents that universe in non-fiction style.
The sprawling narrative deals with a far future where humanity wages war against past souls flooding back into the land of the living via possession (Al Capone and Fletcher Christian are among the returnees). Hamilton's future is expansive and primarily optimistic, with huge sentient space habitats that can closely resemble a natural Eden. He extrapolates on current trends concerning the blurring of technology with biology, and environmental devastation. Poverty, sexual exploitation and cruelty are prevalent in ''Night's Dawn'' civilizations, and the coalition opposing the Possessed are faced with a difficult choice: they cannot destroy them without also killing their host bodies.
==Humanity in the 27th century==
In the ''Night's Dawn'' trilogy, humankind, although now united under an organization known as the Confederation, has been broken up into two major divisions, Adamists and Edenists. The economy is dominated by the Edenists, who maintain a powerful monopoly across the Confederation by harvesting 3He ("helium 3") from suitable gas giants. This resource is used by all Adamist starships as a primary fuel source. The use of the only other major energy source, antimatter, is illegal due to its devastating military potential, and its possession or production is a capital crime.
