This came through my Amazon feed. Slow Bullets is a new novel by Alistair Reynolds that i haven't heard about. It is a paperback and audiobook release, but it sounds interesting, here's the blurb; "From the author of the Revelation Space series comes an interstellar adventure of war...

I read the first three Revelation Space books by Alastair Reynolds over a decade ago, before I began this blog: Revelation Space (published in 2000), Chasm City (2001) and Redemption Ark (2002). I stopped reading the series after that, possibly because I needed a break from the not insignificant...

What did people think of A Blue Remembered Earth and the Poseidon's Wake series in general by Alastair Reynolds? I am having trouble getting through the second half of the first book. The problem for me is the characters are very boring and unlikeable.

Another SF book spotted in the charity shop - Alastair Reynolds, The Prefect. A decent introduction to Reynolds, or should I look for something else by him?

Set to be released on April 16th next year according to Amazon. This is also the final book in the trilogy starting with Blue Remembered Earth.

Interesting read.

24th October 2010 01:59 PM Ian Sales Terminal World, Alastair Reynolds Gollancz, 496pp, £18.99 There’s a pun in the title of million-Pound author Alastair Reynold’s latest novel. It’s not an especially good pun but, sadly, it’s somewhat characteristic of the book. Which is not say that...

It looks like Alistair's latest release is a Doctor Who novel. Interesting. Any excitement on this?

I see that this is up for pre-order on Amazon. (Link) I've preordered a copy myself, although I have yet to read Blue Remembered Earth.

I just finished this book a couple days ago and really liked it. I am going to indulge in some spoiler information, so if the thread title didn't warn you away, go away now. :) I was slightly disappointed with the way the "real" Tanner was killed. I know that Cahuella was obsessed with the...

This is a book containing two novellas by this author, set in his Revelation Space universe. For those unfamiliar with Mr Reynolds he is a British former scientist, once part of the European Space Agency, who gave up scientific research to write SF full time. In the first story, Diamond...

Briefly, I want to report a crime of sorts. It seems to me (my subjective opinion) that someone stole the Alastair Reynolds I know and love exactly one-third of the way into Blue Remembered Earth. The novel begins with amazing promise. Strong characters, an extremely well developed near(ish)...

Alastair Reynolds' first novel, Revelation Space, was published in 2000, since when there have been nine others plus various shorter fiction, much of it published in collections. They might be regarded as traditional, optimistic, hard SF; all (as far as I can judge) set in far futures in which...

Hi Guys: I've read every Alastair Reynolds novel except Pushing Ice and Terminal World. The reviews of both (e.g., poor characters, too slow) have put me off. That said, I have truly loved every Alastair Reynolds novel I've read, with the single exception of Century Rain (which I felt...

Blue Remembered Earth

I just finished Alastair Reynolds' Terminal World. This certainly wasn't his best work but I enjoyed most of it nonetheless. Been trolling the internet since I closed the cover last week looking for some kind of discussion on this book - which seemed to leave a significant number of unanswered...
