Alastair Reynolds' ABSOLUTION GAP Shipping Now

July 7

The signed limited edition of Absolution Gap by Alastair Reynolds is in our warehouse and shipping now.

We’re already at work on Chasm City, the next Revelation Space novel.

About the Book: 

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.

Locus on John Kessel's The Dark Ride

John Kessel's The Dark Ride has landed a lengthy, laudatory review in Locus. We're only too happy to share a cutting from the review with you:“For me, Kessel’s most iconic story, ’The Pure Product’, draws its title and some of its sensibil­ity from William Carlos Williams, a poet who famously disdained allegory and symbolism (his most famous quotation is probably ‘no ideas but in things’; Kessel’s title com
