What are the motifs in The Neutronium Alchemist Consolidation by Peter F. Hamilton?

Revenge is a recurring motivating force behind the actions of several characters in the story, including Quinn Dexter, Erick Thakrar, and Dr. Alkad Mzu.

The early history of Quinn Dexter's life is something of mystery. What is clear is that the Earthborn Dexter became a Satanist at a young age and joined a society or cult whose ranks include a woman named Banneth. Dexter falls in love with the woman, but it is she who betrays him to the authorities and is responsible for his arrest and shipment to Lalonde as an Ivet. Although Dexter believes that his mission is to captain the army of the dead sent by his master, The Light Brother, Lucifer, his desire to return to Earth and exact revenge upon Banneth is not far behind.
