FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Return to the dazzling world of Revelation Space with this British Science Fiction Award-winning space opera 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.One of Locus and Science Fiction Chronicles "Best SF Novels of the Year" Author Biography Alastair Reynolds was born in Barry, South Wales, in 1966.

Review "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 novels 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 Review Quote "Deep, complex and always more than [it] seems.
