By far the best MacLeod book I have read so far. A must-read for fans of Virtual Reality, AI and the Singularity. Add a gripping plot and believable, complex characters to these SF themes and you get an absolute winner. Read it, read it, read it.

I really enjoyed this book. I got exactly what I wanted from it, i.e. a better understanding of the science behind radiocarbon dating and other techniques. Very accessible and full of interesting anecdotes.

The third book I read by Reynolds. I'm still impressed by the richness of the Revelation Space universe. The plot in Redemption Ark is a little more epic. I wonder whether the next one will move back to a smaller scale as Chasm City did (in a way). Again, I highly recommend Reynolds' books.

Another great book that reinforces my respect for Alastair Reynolds. I hope the next installment (Redemption Ark) is as good.

Without doubt one of the best scifi books I have ever read. Reynolds has put together a perfect blend of hard science, esoteric technology, space opera and dark storylines. Like a combination of William Gibson (for the atmosphere), Iain M. Banks (for the scape opera) and Greg Egan (for the hard but mind boggling science). Highly highly recommended. ... (continue)

I took my time reading this as I am a huge fan Banks' Culture novels. Matter doesn't disappoint. Suit up, pick up your CREW and go fight some comped Morth-tech guard ships in a 4 dimensional Shellworld's Machine Core.
