![]() ![]() I was absolutely agog at how great the first novel in this series was, and couldn’t wait to get into this one. They’ve accomplished this by watching for a particular level of technological advance, and then becoming active and annihilating the offending source of life. REDEMPTION ARK ( Amazon) is a direct continuation of the story told in Revelation Space that deals mainly with the discovery of an ancient species of machine intelligence that has long had the goal to keep any other beings from progressing too far along the path of progress. Will have to go back and read Chasm City (another whopper of a book that was published in 2001 and set in the Revelation Space universe) sometime later. ![]() ![]() Still, this is the second book in the main sequence dealing with the Inhibitors, and that was the book I went looking for this time around. I figured with a debut novel being published in 2000 and the second in the series weighing in at over 550 pages and being published in 2002, that it was obviously his sophomore novel. Then, as I’m preparing for this review, I come to find out that this book is in fact not his sophomore novel, but the third novel that he published. Coming back to this author and reading first, Revelation Space (his debut), and then this one, has been an effort that was completely worthwhile. Seems like I’ve been a fan of his stuff for just about forever now. I’ve wondered for quite some time what a sophomore novel from Alastair Reynolds would read like. ![]()
