Nine hundred thousand years ago, something wiped out the Amarantin.
For the humans now settling the Amarantin homeworld, it's of little
more than academic interest, even after the discovery of a
long-hidden, almost perfect city and a colossal statue of a winged
Amarantin. For brilliant, ruthless scientist Dan Sylveste, it's
more than merely intellectual curiosity - and he will stop at
nothing to get at the truth. Even if it costs him everything. But
the Amarantin were wiped out for a reason, and that danger is
closer and greater than even Syveste imagines . . . The original
novel in the epic series, Revelation Space was nominated for both
the BSFA and Arthur C. Clarke awards. Reynolds' PhD in astronomy
and experience with the ESA means that his space operas present
hard science spins on intergalactic adventures and have impacted SF
for years. 'The stories in the Revelation Space universe are packed
with mind-expanding ideas . . . all of which keeps you coming back
for more gripping excitement' - Kirkus 'Reynolds's vision of a
future dominated by artificial intelligence trembles with the
ultimate cold of the dark between the stars' - Publishers Weekly
'Along with Iain M Banks, Reynolds is perhaps the most successful
British Space Opera author of his generation' - Encyclopedia of
Science Fiction Welcome to The Best Of The Masterworks: a selection
of the finest in science fiction
