Revelation Space


Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds

This is a fun science fiction read that explores a fun universe including space travel slower than light speed. Faster than Light (ftl) travel seems a staple of most sci-fi books that a novel without ftl is intriguing by itself.

It did take about 100 pages to get into the story and finally piece everything together in a way that you could follow the separate tales being told. This is longer than I typically like, but the book was pretty captivating once past the first 100 pages of exposition. It told the story of Sylveste investigating a previously unknown species that became extinct approximately 900,000 years ago.
