Recensione:

Praise for Revelation Space

“Intensely compelling; darkly intelligent; hugely ambitious.”—Paul J. McAuley, author of Ancients of Days

“A terrific treat. I was hooked from page one. Billion-year-gone alien wars, killer intelligences—and perhaps the most stunning and original alien artifact in modern science fiction—and all rendered with the authentic voice of a working scientist. Ferociously intelligent and imbued with a chilling logic—it may really be like this Out There.”—National bestselling author Stephen Baxter

“An inventive, wide-ranging, fascinating and exciting space adventure...The best first novel I’ve ever read since A Canticle for Lebowitz.”—Don D’Ammassa, Science Fiction Chronicle

“Complicated, and very clever and well-written...a spectacular first novel.”—Aboriginal Science Fiction

“A delight. A refreshing and entertaining reconsideration of some of the genre's oldest tropes. An impressive first novel, quite possibly the space opera of the year.”—Jonathan Strahan, Locus

“Something new and exciting...absolutely first-rate.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“This is science fiction on a large, cosmological scale, and Reynolds does not lack in big ideas...Many of the ideas in Revelation Space are awe-inspiring...cutting-edge and convincingly rendered.”—SF Site
