The brilliant follow-up to the bestselling 'Revelation Space'.
Tanner Mirabel was a security specialist who never made a mistake . . . until the day a woman in his care was blown away during an attack by a vengeful young postmortal named Argent Reivich.
Tanner's pursuit of Reivich takes him away from his homeworld, across light years of space, to Chasm City, the domed human settlement on the otherwise inhospitable planet Yellowstone. But Chasm City isn't what it used to be: the one-time high-tech utopia has become a dark, Gothic nightmare, victim of a nanotechnological virus which has corrupted the city's inhabitants as thoroughly as it has the buildings. Now the city is a place of steam-driven machines, shadowy factions and deadly new games.
With only his wits to help him - not to mention the odd piece of heavy firepower - Tanner narrows the distance between himself and Reivich. But before the chase is done, Tanner will have to confront disturbing truths which reach back centuries, towards deep space and an atrocity history barely remembers.
Come to Chasm City, and embark on a mind-bending ride through Alastair Reynolds' wild universe.
