Tuesday June 22, 2004 Revelation Space
|
A couple of weeks ago, I finished reading Revelation Space, a science fiction novel by Alistair Reynolds. This was his first novel and he did an excellent job. It's space opera which is my favorite SF genre. The book description and reviews at Amazon (see link above) are good. I've nothing much to add here. If you are still averaging 4 stars after 81 reviews, you don't have a dud. It was clear that Reynolds had created a universe where he could write more stories. I noticed there were two other books by him; Chasm City and Redemption Ark, both with good reviews. |
Then I got lucky. One of my favorite online book sellers Edward R. Hamilton has them both in hardback for $4.95 each. You've got to check out the catalog. Do yourself a favour, and order one from their website right away. It's about a hundred pages long in the form of a newspaper, consisting of books at very reduced prices. One of the great things about them is that if you submit a written order to them, no matter how many books you order, shipping costs are only $3.50.
I ordered them right away, and the books arrived today. I now have at least four thick books to read, all vying for my attention.
