The Inhibitors are back and Humanity is doomed! Many, many
millennia ago, the Inhibitors seeded the universe with machines
designed to detect intelligent life - and then to suppress it. But
after hundreds of millions of years, the machines started to fail
and intelligent cultures started to emerge. Then Dr Dan Sylveste
and the crew of Infinity discovered what had happened to the
long-vanished Amarantin race ... and awakened the Inhibitors. On
Yellowstone, where no one is quite who they appear, the Inquisitor
and the planet's Most Wanted War Criminal are watching as the
Inhibitors turn a small group of planets into raw materials.
Whatever they are building with those materials is not going to be
good for Humanity. Once again, Al Reynolds has produced a stunning,
universe-spanning space opera of mind-blowing proportions. Big in
size, big in concepts, REDEMPTION ARK will leave you gasping at its
audacity and breathless at its conclusion. This is British SF at
its absolute best. Readers are hooked on the Revelation Space
series: 'An exceptional, incomparable read' Goodreads reviewer,
'Better and even darker than the previous one. And so realistic
written that it gives you shivers . . . There are concepts which
are simply too big to comprehend' Goodreads reviewer, 'A hugely
satisfying read . . . one thing that is cool about this series is
that I'm three books in and while there is a overall larger story
being told each one is totally self-contained . . . Big ideas, a
gigantic story, and a sincerely massive and awesome finale'
Goodreads reviewer, 'It's a well-written mix of sci-fi, horror,
suspense, and mystery . . . Redemption Ark is a treatise on the
dangers of the kind of closed-minded thinking which plagues our
world today' Goodreads reviewer, 'I am blown away by the level of
realism, depth, and structure of this series. Throw in some
incredible characterizations and you have a premium sci-fi series'
Goodreads reviewer, 'Reynolds has created a fun, thought-provoking,
and exciting space opera series that is as well-written as it is
entertaining. Fans of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series and Dan
Simmons's "Hyperion" series will enjoy' Goodreads reviewer,
