Big ideas, a gigantic story, and a sincerely massive and awesome finale' Goodreads reviewer, 'It's a well-written mix of sci-fi, horror, suspense, and mystery. one thing that is cool about this series is that I'm three books in and while there is a overall larger story being told each one is totally self-contained.

Readers are hooked on the Revelation Space series: 'An exceptional, incomparable read' Goodreads reviewer, 'Better and even darker than the previous one. Big in size, big in concepts, REDEMPTION ARK will leave you gasping at its audacity and breathless at its conclusion. Once again, Al Reynolds has produced a stunning, universe-spanning space opera of mind-blowing proportions. Whatever they are building with those materials is not going to be good for Humanity. On Yellowstone, where no one is quite who they appear, the Inquisitor and the planet's Most Wanted War Criminal are watching as the Inhibitors turn a small group of planets into raw materials. Then Dr Dan Sylveste and the crew of Infinity discovered what had happened to the long-vanished Amarantin race. But after hundreds of millions of years, the machines started to fail and intelligent cultures started to emerge.

The Inhibitors are back and Humanity is doomed! Many, many millennia ago, the Inhibitors seeded the universe with machines designed to detect intelligent life - and then to suppress it.
