"A
swashbuckling

nevertheless
combines
the
author's
trademark
hard
SF
with
effective,
coming-of-age
characterization."
—The Guardian on Revenger
"Revengeris classic Reynolds-that is to say, top of the line science fiction, where characters are matched beautifully with ideas and have to find their place in a complex future. More!"—Greg Bear on Revenger
"AlastairReynolds [is] one of the leading lights of the New Space Opera Movement . . . .Revengeris tremendous fun."—Locus
"Reynolds has sketched in a galaxy littered with the relics of former civilizations (human and alien), with plenty left to the reader's imagination, and room for a sequel."—Library Journal on Revenger
"An expert mix of the fantastical and horrific."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Revenger
"A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future."—The Sun on Revenger
"A rollicking adventure yarn with action, abduction, fights, properly scary hazards, very grisly torture and even ghosts of a sort."—The Daily Telegraph on Revenger
"By far the most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written."—SFX on Revenger
"The World ofRevengeris undeniably fascinating, and with Reynolds as your storyteller, a journey into it is definitely worthwhile."—SciFiNow on Revenger
"Basically, it'sTreasure IslandmeetsMoby Dick, set in space, with a niceBlade Runner-ish color palette and a cast of character worthy of a Terry Gilliam movie. I loved it."—Joanne Harris on Revenger
"Reynolds makes the human story compelling in a narrative that, spiced with bizarre characters aplenty and propelled by vengeance, smacks intriguingly of everything from Robert Louis Stevenson'sTreasure IslandtoMad Max."—Nature on Revenger
"An excellent, gripping piece of work."—SFANDF Reviews on Revenger
"A delightful romp through the spaceways."—Interzone on Revenger
"A must-read . . . an unexpectedly personal and emotionally-driven tale of determination and retribution - with some great twists along the way and a gutsy heroine who will appeal to fans of young adult literature."—Starbust on Revenger
"A layered star-spanning odyssey filled with drama, adventure, and, yes, revenge."—AudioFile on Revenger
"This novel's ideas are mind-stretching, including a limbo where copies of the dead can be kept and interrogated, and a chillingly mischievous AI that tempts and mocks Dreyfus. The big concepts and complex story effectively pull readers into intriguing speculation about human identity and potential."—Publishers Weekly on Elysium Fire
"Reynolds combines depth in characterization and dazzling hard-science applications to keep the reader turning pages."—Booklist on Elysium Fire
