Revelation Space is a 2000 science fiction novel by Welsh author Alastair Reynolds. It was the first novel (but not published work of fiction) set in Reynolds's eponymous universe. The novel reflects Reynolds's professional background: he has a PhD in astronomy and worked for many years for the European Space Agency. It was short listed for the 2000 BSFA and Arthur C. Clarke Awards.

Old school

Old school SF in the way it brings together and treats our motley crew of characters, which means that most don't get the depth they deserve. However, the story, tension and ideas more than make up for this.

Review of 'Revelation Space (Revelation Space, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

Having read the previous novel and the novella, I quite enjoyed this one. It feels as though the Universe it is set in, is beginning to expand to bring in new species and systems as well as a new enemy. Hinting that this might also connect to the incidents in the first novel is a nice touch too. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go next.

If you enjoyed the first novel then this one's even better.
