Reynolds holds a PhD in Astronomy and is a veteran of the European Space Agency. It also established Reynolds as one of the premiere science fiction writers of our time. The author’s debut, now a beloved modern classic, spans windswept planets, far flung solar systems, the black void of interstellar space, and explores the fabric of reality itself. These are the intricate strands that make up Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space, a landmark of modern Space Opera. What the disparate characters find at their eventual destination may launch the endgame for the human race. The shadow-haunted corridors of the starship recall gothic castles even as the Nostalgia for Infinity approaches the speed of light, a journey described in terms well beyond cutting edge science. Meanwhile, across space, Ilya Volyova and the other members of the ruling triumvirate of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity are willing to do anything to save the life of their captain, who is infected with a nanotech virus, known as Melding Plague, a relentless remaker that combines human cells with nanotech implants.Īnd then there’s Ana Khouri, the deadly assassin who brings them all together. Revelation Space will be oversized, printed in two colors throughout, on 80# Finch.Īs Revelation Space opens, a razorstorm threatens the dig where Archeologist Dan Sylveste is seeking the truth behind the mystery of an alien artifact nearly a million years old. Note: There is a limit of one copy per edition per person/household.
