Reviews"Reynolds confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance."-- Publishers Weekly "Reynolds takes quests for vengeance and redemption and places them on a galactic stage."-- Locus "If you like hard SF...with fast-paced action and hard-boiled characters...you're in for a great ride."-- SF Site, Praise for Redemption Ark "Reynolds confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance."-- Publishers Weekly "Reynolds takes quests for vengeance and redemption and places them on a galactic stage."-- Locus "If you like hard SF...with fast-paced action and hard-boiled characters...you're in for a great ride."--SF Site "The best of the new breed of space opera. Wild action on a grand scale spans well-imagined and developed worlds--bold and new with sharply defined differences in both characters and the changed definitions of humanity."-- The Denver Post "A large, sprawling tale of war, politics, ideology and alien invasion. Skilled narrative technique and well-developed characters make this a novel most readers will find absorbing."-- Booklist, Praise for Redemption Ark "Clearly one of the year's major science fiction novels...The book Reynolds's readers have been waiting for."-- Locus "If you like hard SF...with fast-paced action and hard-boiled characters...you're in for a great ride."--SF Site "The best of the new breed of space opera.

SynopsisAlastair Reynolds pushes the boundaries of science fiction and "confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance" ( Publishers Weekly ) in this novel in his Revelation Space universe. Late in the twenty-sixth century, the human race has advanced enough to accidentally trigger the Inhibitors--alien killing machines designed to detect intelligent life and destroy it. The only hope for humanity lies in the recovery of a secret cache of doomsday weapons--and a renegade named Clavain who is determined to find them. But other factions want the weapons for their own purposes--and the weapons themselves have another agenda altogether...
