Book and dust jacket are in Fine condition with only minot shelf wear. Alastair Reynolds belongs to a new generation of critically acclaimed authors who will still engage with space opera but who have tended to take down a notch the epic scope that characterised the resurgence of space opera in the 1980s. Revelation Space is the first book in Reynolds' Revelation Space series (2000-2003). It chronicles humanity s colonisation of space, a precarious and disparate effort that is threatened by a space plague known as the Melding Plague as well as a mysterious, advanced machine civilisation.

JW Consignment. Shelved above Case 7/8. The Revelation Space series is a book series by Alastair Reynolds that follows a fictional human history from 2,200 AD to approximately 40,000 AD. Notable for being a more "hard" science than many other science-fiction works, prominently not including the faster-than-light travel common in many other science-fiction stories. It is this universe that acts as the setting for a majority of Alastair Reynolds' novels and short-stories. The Inhibitor Sequence consists of Reynolds' first 3 novels "Revelation Space", "Redemption Ark", and "Absolution Gap" from 2000-2003, completed in 2021 with "Inhibitor Phase". Much of the Revelation Space series as a whole takes place around the original trilogy from 2000-2003. This collection contains only the original trilogy. "Chasm City" was released between "Revelation Space" and "Redemption Ark" in 2001. "Chasm City" takes place in the titular city, which is a major nexus within the wider Revelation Space universe. "Galactic North" is a collection of most of Alastair Reynolds' short stories and novellas set in the Revelation Space universe released in 2006. Around 8 stories are told in relatively chronological order from "Great Wall of Mars" set in 2,200AD going to "Galactic North" set in 40,000 AD. "Diamond Dogs" is a novella by Alastair Reynolds released in 2001. Set in the 25th century, it plays on the classic science-fiction plot of the deadly maze. 1383372. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
