Alastair Reynolds has been one of the most powerful voices in space opera for twenty years.  In this, his debut novel and the first book in his Revelation Space universe, one man will journey across time and space on a single-minded quest for the truth....

Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight.

Now one scientist, the brilliant and ruthless Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the mystery of the ancient civilization's disappearance.  But the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason - and if that reason is uncovered, the universe, and reality itself, could be irrevocably altered....

"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." - LOCUS

"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."  - STEPHEN BAXTER

"[A] sci-fi tour de force....  Clearly intoxicated by cutting-edge scientific research - in bioengineering, space physics, cybernetics - Reynolds spins a ravishingly inventive- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

In the second book of The Inhibitor Trilogy, Alastair Reynolds pushes the boundaries of science fiction and "confirms his place among the leaders of the hard-science space-opera renaissance" (Publishers Weekly).

Late in the twenty-sixth 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 . . .

In the third book in the acclaimed author Alastair Reynolds's Inhibitor Trilogy, the last remnants of humanity realize that their only chance for survival may mean forging an alliance with a mysterious alien force.

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.
