Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight. Now one scientist, Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the Amarantin riddle before ancient history repeats itself. With no other resources at his disposal, Sylveste forges a dangerous alliance with the cyborg crew of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason.

Publisher's Summary
But their little colony has just received an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel with the power to lead mankind to safety - or draw down its darkest enemy. And as she leads them to an apparently insignificant moon light-years away, it begins to dawn on Clavain and his companions that to beat one enemy, it may be necessary to forge an alliance with something much worse.

Fantastic Continuation
After listening to book 3, I didn't have the highest of hopes for book 4. After reading it however, I found my doubts dashed and my hopes for book 5 higher than ever. It's on par with book 2, my favourite so far.
Oh, and congratulations to John Lee for remaining my favourite narrator.

kept me company
I found it engaging and entertaining. sometimes, particularly in the first 15 hours I felt it going abit slower than I would like. the last five hours were worth the wait I guess and this has been the case with the previous two books. looking forward to listening to the next one in line.

Great conclusion to the Inhibitor Trilogy
This book completes the series of Revelation Space and Redemption Ark. By this stage in the series humans are being hunted down by the inhibitors and can only run and hide. They have the opportunity to possibly ally with another species to save themselves, but it is a huge risk.

Great story with considerable drag
The continuing plot of this story was epic and happening and interstellar and had a decent main character. The main plot had some pretty huge concepts. This saved the book from its detractors, being a snail-paced main plot (literally) and a main female character with absolutely no personality or character to speak of, and very little to actually do. I wish the new concepts were more explored, because I felt we were dragged a long way for something big and it was a little anti climactic.

Excellent Story.
All very well written and presented. Looking forward to the next instalment. John Lee is a very good narrator. Certainly better than the woman who narrated Slow Bullets.

what a disappointment.
i feel robbed. I enjoyed the previous books and story but absolution gap was a mess. Several major character deaths off screen. skade became a horrible villain and becomes a plot hole. the book is overly drawn out. AND the worst part is it doesnt end. The ending is in an epilogue that is set 400 years later. You get a " and after that we started to win but really we lost. now all hope is gone". I feel like the aughor had a major time limit or has lost all interest. On a side note the auther needs to know he cant change accents of characters. How did clavain go from english accent to a texas having a stroke.

John lee ruined Clevain.
John lee is a great narrator but his attempt at an American accent is just awful, please stop.
Clevain was British in book 3 bit now apparently he's from Texas and was repeatedly punched in the mouth.
It's so bad, whyyyyyy?

Good Story, But...
The story starts and grows beautifully, but as things start to come together, the end result lacks a certain gravitas. It feels like events unfold into normalities that remain bleaker than what the reader hopes them to turn out to be. Still, read to further the saga. A good space opera.
