The legendary space opera that kicked off the ground-breaking; universe-spanning series. Nine hundred thousand years ago; something wiped out the Amarantin. For the human colonists now settling the Amarantin homeworld Resurgam; it's of little more than academic interest; even after the discovery of a long-hidden; almost perfect Amarantin city and a colossal statue of a winged Amarantin. For brilliant but ruthless scientist Dan Sylveste; it's more than merelty intellectual curiosity - and he will stop at nothing to get at the truth. Even if the truth costs him everything. But the Amarantin were wiped out for a reason; and that danger is closer and greater than even Syveste imagines ... REVELATION SPACE: a huge; magnificent space opera that ranges across the known and unknown universe ... towards the most terrifying of destinations. Readers are hooked on Revelation Space: 'An amazing blend of space opera; hard SF; and gothic horror that reads like a cross between Frank Herbert's Dune and Ridley Scott's film Alien ' Goodreads reviewer; 'Marvellous hard space opera. Slowly built; with three story lines which at some point merge together; it depicts a very dark universe; full of technological wonders; both human and alien' Goodreads reviewer; 'Revelation Space series is one of the favouritest favourites . . . Reynolds held me in thrall with his vision' Goodreads reviewer; 'The setting is a gritty; desolate; and unforgiving universe in which humanity finds itself in imminent danger of extinction . . . I highly recommend it to all adult fans of space opera; cyberpunk; and horror genres' Goodreads reviewer; 'A darn good; solid; well executed work of hard sci-fi . . . I really appreciate that Revelation Space ends in a satisfying and self-contained way' Goodreads reviewer; 'Awesome characters; awesome setting; awesome ideas; awesome awesome awesome . . .'
