Well, given that I tried to read Pushing Ice and ended up DNFing it, I liked Revelation Space a lot more than I expected to.Which isn't to say, mind you, that I particularly liked Revelation Space.Oh, I liked the core of it well enough. Alastair Reynolds has one heck of an imagination, that much is ...
Good SF ultimate goal must always be about the human condition. Literally. Always. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein arguably kick started the genre - a novel by a sex-positive teenage feminist in a corset, which tackled the question of what it means to be human, and how we connect with one another, and w...
This is the sort of book that makes me glad that I participate in a book group, as I wouldn't otherwise have read this. It's a superb space opera, though it is nowhere as melodramatically silly as the label might suggest. And while Alastair Reynolds's scientific expertise contributes to the strength...
it starts out (and teaser text describes) sort of a post-war lost in space situation. the reality is more like a SF post-disaster survival Fahrenheit 451.
I bought this because I knew it contained at least one novella I hadn't read that wasn't easily obtainable elsewhere. I now wish I had waited for the UK edition which has a much better cover. I also wish that the editors had done a better job - by which I mean who-ever was responsible for ensuring a...

Set a couple of centuries in the future, afte...

[I received a copy of this novel through NetGalley.]I've never read anything by this author before, so I can't compare with his other works. In general, although "Revenger" is not without faults, it was an entertaining novel."Revenger" takes place in a decrepit, dark solar system. In this world wher...
I've literally just finished the book and put it down, and I'm still reeling. Two sisters go on a space quest; get separated in an atrocious event; and then one of them seeks the other as well as revenge for the said appalling event. Sound familiar? I'm just out of the latest Reynolds after the wond...
