Revelation space5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Beyond the Aquila Rift is a phenomenal collection , and Slow Bullets is one of the finest SF novellas out there. Then there’s Reynolds’ short fiction, which is great. They had a slight YA feel to them at times, but that doesn’t bother me as much a sit does some people. Why then, I keep asking myself, do I not like the majority of Reynolds’ novels? I’ve read ( and reviewed) his Revenger trilogy and really enjoyed the oddly Gothic, piratical space opera. Big sweeping storylines that cover multiple planets, a rich and deep history that spans millions of years, and a healthy respect for science that keeps to current knowledge while pushing that understanding to the limit. On the face of it, his work has everything I should love about science fiction. Īlastair Reynolds is an author who continues to infuriate me. ![]() A handful of humans tie these events together, but that does not mean they can stop them. An assassination plot years in the making. ![]()
