The slightest hint of human activity could draw the wolves to their home, to destroy everything… utterly. Fleeing the ‘wolves’ – the xenocidal alien machines known as Inhibitors – he has protected his family and his community from attack for forty years, sheltering in the caves of an airless, battered world called Michaelmas. Would I enjoy this standalone, which is set in the Revelation Space world?īLURB: Miguel de Ruyter is a man with a past. However, I wasn’t so impressed with House of Suns, which I felt was let down by the ending. I thoroughly enjoyed his Revengers series, see my reviews of Revenger, Shadow Captain and Bone Silence. So I always pay attention when he produces something new. I devoured them years ago, awed at the inventiveness and depth of hard science packed into these stories with such a very different feel – and indeed, no one writes quite like Reynolds. Alastair Reynolds is one of the game-changers in hard sci-fi, with his amazing, bleak far-future Revelation Space.
