Alastair Reynolds continues his Revelation Space series with this "first-rate work of science fiction, a thoroughly modern space opera full of dangers and marvels to match"(SF Site).
The Inhibitors were designed to eliminate any life form reaching a certain level of intelligence-and they've targeted Humanity. War veteran Clavain and a ragtag group of refugees have fled into hiding. Their leadership is faltering, and their situation is growing more desperate. 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...
Rezension:
Praise for Absolution Gap
"Comparisons to Dune abound...At a time when large-scale SF is flourishing, Absolution Gap is a good as it gets, and should solidify Alastair Reynolds' reputation as one of the best hard SF writers in the field."-SF Site
"A book of great fascination, rich description, and memorable action."-Locus
"Reynolds writes a lean and muscular prose where the intense action scenes are leavened with the kind of bright, shining, mind-boggling science talk that characterizes the best of post-modern space opera."-Science Fiction Weekly
"Alastair Reynolds continues his rise to the top of SF...Revelation, Redemption, Absolution...Reynolds provides them all."-The Guardian (UK)
"Fulfills all the staggering promise of [Reynolds'] earlier books, and then some...a landmark in hard SF space opera."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An entertaining science fiction tale...The story line contains several brilliantly developed concepts...an intriguing look at religion, war, societies, and economics in outer space."-Midwest Book Review
