Publisher's Summary
Miguel de Ruyter is a man with a past.
Fleeing the 'wolves'—the xenocidal alien machines known as Inhibitors—he has protected his family and community from attack for 40 years, sheltering in the caves of an airless, battered world called Michaelmas. The slightest hint of human activity could draw the wolves to their home, to destroy everything...utterly. Which is how Miguel finds himself on a one-way mission with his own destructive mandate: to eliminate a passing ship, before it can bring unwanted attention down on them.
Only something goes wrong.
There's a lone survivor.
And she knows far more about Miguel than she's letting on....
Ranging from the depths of space to the deeps of Pattern Juggler waters, from nervous, isolated communities to the ruins of empire, this is a stealthy space opera from an author at the top of his game.

Alistair Reynolds is the master!
The end of Ch7 seems to have been cut short a few pages and at least a couple of the chapters are misaligned or mislabelled (I'm sure the publishers will sort those small bugs out. I'm probably one of the first people to listen to this novel). Aside from that, as brilliant as anyone would expect an Alistair Reynolds book to be....they are
all masterpieces.

Good but not in the same league as previous books.
The previous books in revelation space were amazing, so I was excited for this, and perhaps that's why I'm a little disappointed. The story started strong, but became tedious at times, even a little boring. There just didn't seem to be any mystery. The middle part was basically a fantasy quest for some magic stones with a bunch of flat characters, and I couldn't get invested in the plot. I was hoping for some exploration of the wolves, but there was none. I might have to come back to this book and give it a second chance.

An amazing story with a poignant ending. So good to revisit certain characters from the Revelation Space universe.
A must-read for any fan.

Great continuation of the universe
This would work as a stand alone story but is far richer with the context of the initial trilogy. This is true for both the characters and long term history.
A gripping chase and adventure across many settings with some new elements to the big picture revealed too. It’s been ten years since I read those stories which sets it perfectly for me as a misty memory, much the way that Reynolds links this in.
The narrator does the variety of characters really well but for me the main character becomes a bit loaded by the chosen enunciation in ways that I perhaps wouldn’t have imagined if I’d read it dry off the page.

When one of the best authors and narrators come together ?
Actually so good. Really hope that he writes more in this universe. Reynolds is a genius. If you diss him that’s your choice, but I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the revelation space universe or even just anyone who read Reynolds. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anybody off the street though because it, despite the authors note, is better with context or a familiarity with the Reynolds style. By the way, John Lee is my favourite narrator :)

Very Dry
This is my second Alastair Reynolds book - the first was an actual book, the second and audiobook.
It’s got some great ideas and content but somehow the scenes that should be full of tension and excitement are left dry and matter of fact which makes for a text-book listening experience. I might suggest that it’s the delivery by John Lee, but the hard copy book I’ve read was the same. It meant that the story dragged and I was just keen for it to be over.

Terrible narration
I did not like this narrator’s delivery - the weirdly accented cadence of his voice made it almost impossible for me to engage with the story. I am a huge fan of Reynolds and own most of his books to date. This was a huge disappointment.
