In the second book of The Inhibitor Trilogy, Alastair Reynolds pushes the boundaries of science fiction and "confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance" (Publishers Weekly). Late in the twenty-sixth century, the human race has advanced enough to accidentally trigger the Inhibitors -- alien killing machines designed to detect intelligent life and destroy it. The only hope for humanity lies in the recovery of a secret cache of doomsday weapons -- and a renegade named Clavain who is determined to find them. But other factions want the weapons for their own purposes -- and the weapons themselves have another agenda altogether . . .
"A large, sprawling tale of war, politics, ideology and alien invasion. Skilled narrative technique and well-developed characters make this a novel most readers will find absorbing. "--Booklist on Redemption Ark "Clearly one of the year' s major science fiction novels. . . The book Reynolds' s readers have been waiting for. "--Locus on Redemption Ark "If you like hard SF. . . with fast-paced action and hard-boiled characters. . . you' re in for a great ride. "--SF Site on Redemption Ark "The best of the new breed of space opera. Wild action on a grand scale spans well-imagined and developed worlds-bold and new with sharply defined differences in both characters and the changed definitions of humanity. "--The Denver Post on Redemption Ark "With this complex, thoughtful sequel to his highly praised Revelation Space, British author Reynolds confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance. . . . It' s rare to find a writer with sufficient nerve and stamina to write novels that are big enough to justify using words like "revelation" and "redemption. " Reynolds pulls it off.
