Synopsis
Editorial Reviews Review "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 "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 novel's details are consistently startling but convincing in context. Reynolds remains one of the hottest new SF writers around."― Publishers Weekly "Successfully combines SF noir with technothriller in a dark vision of the future."― Library Journal "An impressive book. Another step toward what could become a very significant 21st century hard SF career."― SF Site About the Author Alastair Reynolds was born in Barry, South Wales, in 1966.
