An amazing, sweeping work of far-future sci-fi. The story arc was fantastic in its detail and development. Really enjoyed it!

A wonderful adventure and gratifying read. I’m very excited to read more of this authors work!

Slow and confusing at first. But, with broad scope and fascinating conjecture, a fantastic voyage.

Really well done…shockingly imaginative work within a well-explored and sometimes repetitive genre. Highl6 recommended .

It was a good book. I enjoyed reading it. I have to admit I like the series from the epsilon universe better. Mainly as I’m familiar with the characters. However, Alistair Reynolds’s is among if not my most liked SF authors. And find everything I’ve read worth the time. Just a note: I believe a rating should be accurate. Not handed out without real thought given. I’ve read maybe 1 or 2 for sure less than 5 series in my life that I’d honestly give a 5 rating to. So a 4 from me speaks very highly of the author and his books as far as I’m concerned.

One of the best space opera-type books I have ever read. The pages kept turning and turning….
