About this listen

 Late in the 26th 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.©2008 Alastair Reynolds (P)2009 Tantor Fiction First Contact Hard Science Fiction Science Fiction Space Opera

Critic Reviews

"Reynolds confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance." ( Publishers Weekly Starred Review)
"The best of the new breed of space opera. Wild action on a grand scale spans well-imagined and developed worlds." ( The Denver Post)

Another step closer to extinction from the Inhibitors. They get closer as preparations are made to evacuate a planet and possibly the whole Conjoiner mother nest.

Fantastic follow up to Revelation Space

It's a damn good book, like preceding stories in the Revelation Space series. However, it's not as good as the previous two. It's fantastic in that it links previous storylines together and ties up some loose ends, but there's really something missing that the others had.

Overall, worth listening to if you're a fan of the series. And John Lee scores yet another 10/10 for me, best narrator.

A solid sequel

The narrator has grown on me since revelation space. Looking forward to book three to find out how it all ends up.

Great for a middle book of a trilogy

I've been wanting to read this book for years and it didn't disappoint. I'd give it a 4.5 rating. It's a heavy sci-fi and at times you need to concentrate it order to not loose the plot. I'd recommend this book to anyone who lives sci-fi.

Enjoyable
