A Second Chance at Eden (1998) is a collection of short stories by British writer Peter F. Hamilton, set in the Night's Dawn universe.

The stories in this collection form a series of snapshot glimpses into the history of the Confederation leading up to the time of Joshua Calvert and Quinn Dexter, two of the main characters in The Night's Dawn Trilogy.

It's set on Earth in the year 2070 and is about the fictional sport of beastie-baiting, involving contests to the death between artificial monsters controlled via human affinity bonds.

In the year 2393, the crime lord Laurus rules Kariwak on Tropicana with an iron fist, jealously guarding control of the bitek trade.

SFSite praises its finely crafted characters and intricate plots, calling it a delightful supplement to the Night's Dawn trilogy.
