Announcing ABSOLUTION GAP by Alastair Reynolds

March 31

Now’s your chance to preorder Absolution Gap, Alastair Reynolds’ longest novel, and one of his most ambitious, illustrated by Marc Simonetti.

We’re already at work on our next two limited editions with Al, an original novella (The Dagger in Vichy) and then another novel set in the Revelation Space Universe (Chasm City).

***

In Absolution Gap, the direct sequel to Redemption Ark, Alastair Reynolds weaves a shimmering tapestry of ideas, characters, technologies, civilizations, and worlds, resulting in a masterpiece set in the author’s critically acclaimed Revelation Space universe.

Favorite characters such as Nevil Clavain and Ana Khouri return in guises old and new, adventuring and exploring across a clutch of intersecting timelines that cover nearly half a millennium. Enemy alien civilizations, as well as rival factions within humanity, contest the very nature of the galaxy, using weapons and machines of dizzying complexity, all in a tightly plotted, architectural extravaganza of the imagination.

Here are the great lighthugger ships, such as Gnostic Ascension and Nostalgia for Infinity, representing peak human ingenuity as they make way across the void, carrying vast crews of soldiers, scientists, and refugees. They are set against the Inhibitors, one of many galactic civilizations, some long dead, some newly come to human space, in a conflict that can only be described as war. Societies and races such as the Cathedrals and the Shadows, the Scuttlers and the Pattern Jugglers would test the limits of humanity’s greatest intelligences (human or machine) to understand, but Reynolds’ deft and subtle hand makes the incomprehensible comprehensible and endlessly entertaining. 

Winner of the British Science Fiction Award and the Japanese Seiun Award, Alastair Reynolds burst on to the literary scene where hard science fiction intersects with space opera with the intensity of an exploding star with Revelation Space and has since only enhanced his reputation with each new work. 

With Absolution Gap, he exceeds the heights to which he has already climbed.

This is a radical change in the nature of the place. Guns have come to Paradise.”     Few novels have shaped the digital age like Snow Crash.
