Description

Nine hundred thousand years ago, a catastrophic event wiped out the Amarantin, leaving behind only remnants of their civilization. For the human colonists on the Amarantin homeworld of Resurgam, this is a historical curiosity, but for brilliant scientist Dan Sylveste, it's a mystery worth solving. He will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, even if it means risking everything.

The discovery of a long-hidden Amarantin city and a colossal statue of a winged Amarantin has sparked a quest for answers. But the truth is more sinister than Sylveste could have imagined, and the danger is closer than he thinks. This is a huge and magnificent space opera that spans the known and unknown universe, hurtling towards a terrifying destination.

With its blend of space opera, hard science fiction, and gothic horror, Revelation Space is a gripping and immersive read. The story is slowly built, with three plot threads that eventually converge, creating a dark and unforgiving universe where humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. If you're a fan of space opera, cyberpunk, and horror, this is a worthwhile read.
