What Readers Are Saying
"The most elaborate resolution of the Fermi paradox that I've ever come across... I loved it, but my brain is toast for a while." — Kevin Kelsey, Goodreads
"This is a phenomenal book in many ways. Reynolds, a Welsh PhD astronomer and member of the European Space Agency, has some Sheldon Cooper street cred right out of the gates and he delivers with some seriously high brow SF tooling that left this knuckle dragging reviewer scratching his pate and just being impressed." — Lyn, Goodreads
"Revelation Space is Space Opera of the grandest style, filled with high drama and soaring narrative arias. Even ten years after reading this many of Revelation Space's amazing set pieces and concepts are still vivid in my mind." — Scott, Goodreads
