About this listen
With no other resources at his disposal, Sylveste forges a dangerous alliance with the cyborg crew of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason. And if that reason is uncovered, the universe - and reality itself - could be irrevocably altered.

Story
War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

Story
In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

Story
On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

Story
The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars some 400 light-years in diameter, contains more than 600 worlds, interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: Over 1,000 light-years away, a star...vanishes. It does not go supernova. It does not collapse into a black hole. It simply disappears.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Amazingly creative story
loved the story! Alistair Reynolds weaves multiple stories together in an epic conclusion which I didn't see coming. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the series. John Lee tho, it's not a very good narrator. He's hard to understand and follow, and the dialogue he uses often blends multiple characters together, making it hard to picture who is talking.

Deep stuff, Second read was better then first
I like this book but I am not as big on it as some other titles. That's what I thought when I first read this then I got into the universe, it's really incredible storytelling. Already read up to inhibitor phase now reread it cus it make way more sense.

Overly complicated
I think this book is a little overly compacted with too many characters and poor transitions making it cumbersome to follow. Also, quite slow and boring. If it wasn’t for the excellent narration it would be a fail.

AWESOME scifi story. just get 8 chapters in first!
Start of the book takes a bit of time to understand but once the pieces fall in place, it's gripping. This scifi takes the bleeding edge of current knowledge and takes it to the extreme.
Love this book!

It's....alright
So this was a bit more, out there, than I had expected. I had to check a few times to see if I had accidentally jumped into the middle of a book series, there is so much reference to centuries of past history. But that's OK, Game of Thrones does the same thing but much more articulated. This almost feels fantasy sci-fi mix, but not. There are so many variations of human in this world its hard to keep track of. Also I am no author, but it seems in places that should be a chapter break, there isn't, which makes things a bit hard to follow, and there are some huge passages of time between chapters at times. I also didn't care for the narrator. I was looking for something to fill the void left by "The Expanse" and this is not it.

The sound volume is unstable
Almost every sentence starts out much louder then the rest of the sentence. It was very distracting and made it difficult to follow the story which is amazing. I had to keep repeating chapters to understand what was happening. This novel is difficult enough however the sound issues exasperate the issue. This is not a novel to listen to while multitasking, at least not for me. I had to focus solely on the story. I recommend this novel however I hope they fix the erratic sound level issue.

Fire the audio engineer.
My speakers are clipping at the beginning of a sentence, and I can't hear the end of the sentence. Gripping story, terrible sound engineering.

Read the book
Very interesting story and enjoyed it very much. As others have noted though it’s a bit of a chore to keep everything straight because there is no way to tell that there has been a change in scene until you figure out who’s talking and the narrator doesn’t make clear separate voices to help the process I think reading the book myself would of been a better choice for me.

The Revelation Space universe rocked my world
Alastair Reynolds weaves multiple stories together in this epic sci-fi saga. I can so easily picture the deep, details worlds described by Reynolds. The characters are interesting and complex. The story is gripping and hard to stop listening to. My only wish is that this book gets made into a movie someday! #Audible1

Great story, editing needs work
I agree with a lot of the other reviewers here; this is such a great story, haunting in places and a great slow burn at first, but the editing needs some work. It’s hard to pick when the narrative switches from one character to another. Sometimes it sounds like it occurs in a single sentence.
After a few chapters you can adapt and listen for the change but it’s a little frustrating.
The narrator is solid otherwise though and it really is a killer story.
