: I just finished reading Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds, It's an excellent
: second novel set in the Revalation Space Universe.
: If you liked RS I'd advise giving it a go.
I'll have to track this one down. Thanks. He's also releasing a limited edition hard cover novella called Diamond Dogs this summer. It's set in the same Revelation Space universe.
Here's what Alastair has to say about his own work:
"Revelation Space itself is a big hard SF space-opera set some six hundred-odd years from now at a time when humanity has begun to push into the galaxy using slower-than-light space travel. The book's plot concerns an archaeological investigation into a dead species which turns out to have potentially deadly consequences for humanity as a whole. There are contract assassins, cyborg space pirates, AI's, inscrutable alien forces and massive artefacts and weapons. A rough idea of the book's flavour can probably be obtained from the fact that fans of Iain Banks and Peter Hamilton seem to find things in Revelation Space that they enjoy."
Cheers
