About this listen
But their little colony has just received an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel with the power to lead mankind to safety - or draw down its darkest enemy. And as she leads them to an apparently insignificant moon light-years away, it begins to dawn on Clavain and his companions that to beat one enemy, it may be necessary to forge an alliance with something much worse.

Trilogy finished? Maybe.
Falls short of the second book but still an enjoyable listen. Characters were pretty strong and some great development of those characters.

Just so good.
After reading the first few revelation space books I took a break as I was getting fatigue, but now that I've returned after sampling other story's I can say just how fantastic this series is! Like most of Alistair's books the ending tends to drag on and end soft, but the story is epic qand we'll worth it.

Excellent, but no ending
SPOILERS - don't read if...you know.
I love Reynolds' writing and the excellent performance by Lee, but I found that the ending was disappointing and unsatisfactory.
In this supposedly final instalment in the series the enigmatic "memories" from Aura lead the troop to Hela for what we believe to be some important conclusion. Things build towards this moment. But it is an anticlimax.
I cry for what happens to the Nostalgia for Infinity, especially after the Captain emerges. Did Aura have no further technological insights? How could so much be deduced and be reliant on some "conch pieces"? Its a bit of a leap. And so on.
The world building in this series is excellent, by the time you finish Absolution Gap you are very well acquainted with Yellowstone and Chasm City, Sky's Edge, Resurgem, Ararat, Hela. You are familiar with several species and sub-species: Ultras, Conjoiners, Pattern Jugglers, Inhibitors, Hyper-Pigs, Skuttlers, Shrouders, Shadows and Amarantin. I would have loved a more satisfying ending that brought more of the pieces together.
