Winner of The British Science Fiction Award for Best Novel of the YearOne of Locus and Science Fiction Chronicle' s "Best SF Novels of the Year" Legendary space opera writer Alastair Reynolds returns to the world of Revelation Space with this British Science Fiction Award-winningstand-alone novel about a young man hell-bent on revenge on the surface of a twisted, disease-corrupted planet. The once-utopian Chasm City--a domed human settlement on an otherwise inhospitable planet--has been overrun by a virus known as the Melding Plague, capable of infecting any body, organic or computerized. Now, with the entire city corrupted---from the people to the very buildings they inhabit--only the most wretched sort of existence remains. For security operative Tanner Mirabel, it is the landscape of nightmares through which he searches for a lowlife postmortal killer. But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget.

"A tightly written story that spirals inevitably inwards toward its powerful conclusion. [Chasm City] confirms Reynolds as the most exciting space opera writer working today. "--Locus "A worth follow-up to Revelation Space. Reynolds transmutes space opera into a nourish, baroque, picaresque mystery tale. Inventiveness and tone are Reynolds' strong points. . . the novel' s details are consistently startling but convincing in context. Reynolds remains one of the hottest new SF writers around. "--Publishers Weekly "An impressive book. Another step toward what could become a very significant 21st century hard SF career. "--SF Site "Deep, complex and always more than [it] seems. Reynolds succeeds in the hardest task of good science fiction, creating a new world full of wonder. "--The Denver Post "Successfully combines SF noir with technothriller in a dark vision of the future. "--Library Journal
