Praise for Alastair Reynolds:
‘Alastair Reynolds is a name to watch. Mixing shades of Banks and Gibson with gigatons of originality’
Guardian
‘Intensely compelling; darkly intelligent; hugely ambitious’ Paul McAuley
‘Reynold's narrative is truly breathtaking in scope and intricate in detail, making him a mastersinger of the space opera’
The Times
‘When word of mouth builds up the head of steam that Reynolds's massive SF epic has created, attention needs to be paid. Like many of the best novels in the hard SF genre, the span here is mindboggling, with a comprehensively realised protagonist’

‘[Alastair Reynolds] has a genius for big-concept SF’
Publishers Weekly
‘Dark, gothic and graphic, with tightly composed narratives full of shocks and jaw-dropping moments’
