JW Consignment. Shelved above Case 7/8. The Revelation Space series is a book series by Alastair Reynolds that follows a fictional human history from 2,200 AD to approximately 40,000 AD. Notable for being a more "hard" science than many other science-fiction works, prominently not including the faster-than-light travel common in many other science-fiction stories. It is this universe that acts as the setting for a majority of Alastair Reynolds' novels and short-stories. The Inhibitor Sequence consists of Reynolds' first 3 novels "Revelation Space", "Redemption Ark", and "Absolution Gap" from 2000-2003, completed in 2021 with "Inhibitor Phase". Much of the Revelation Space series as a whole takes place around the original trilogy from 2000-2003. This collection contains only the original trilogy. "Chasm City" was released between "Revelation Space" and "Redemption Ark" in 2001. "Chasm City" takes place in the titular city, which is a major nexus within the wider Revelation Space universe. "Galactic North" is a collection of most of Alastair Reynolds' short stories and novellas set in the Revelation Space universe released in 2006. Around 8 stories are told in relatively chronological order from "Great Wall of Mars" set in 2,200AD going to "Galactic North" set in 40,000 AD. "Diamond Dogs" is a novella by Alastair Reynolds released in 2001. Set in the 25th century, it plays on the classic science-fiction plot of the deadly maze. 1383372. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Both items in fair condition, on lightly-aged paper. ONE: 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr Lane, | Conscientious research in Titmarshian activities seems to point to the fact that you owe to the club the sum of 22/- for two dinners in October 1907.' He continues on this theme for a while, before turning to Reynolds: 'I am very glad to hear that you are going to bring out the Holy Mountain & Poor Mans House by Reynolds. As partly responsible for the suggestion of the Mountain & the location at Acton, I take some interest in the book & also in its author. A good many others do the same & I think it should attract enough preliminary notice to attract some public attention to a kind of satire, rather vitriolic, which a large populace may conceivably fasten on with voracity.' He regards the book as 'somewhat experimental', the 'Poor Man's House' having 'more solid & artistic qualities. I cannot help thinking that there are possibilities of literary achievement quite out of the common in S. R.' The final paragraph describes a book he has acquired. TWO: 2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. He thanks him for sending 'A Poor Man's House', of which he has 'written glowingly in my two little causeries, one in The Reader's Review, the other in the Country House'. He asks him to 'repeat the experiment' by sending another book, before commenting: 'Reynolds far exceeds my anticipation & I am proud with a certain reflected glory in having contributed before any one else to his being Deterré as Pope said of Dr. Johnson. I hope your sporting support of him will be justified & I certainly think it will.' Reynolds' entry in the Oxford DNB notes Seccombe's influence on him. The Titmarsh Club was a society formed in appreciation of the works of Thackeray.…
