One of the new wave of what has been described as "high baroque space opera", this is one of the best exemplars of the genre, and one of the darkest. I call this "space opera noir" and Reynolds is about the only writer doing this (although Iain Banks comes close). Excellent, tightly written and labyrinthinely plotted, with characters so mean one can't help but love them and science so believable (Reynolds is an astrophysicist working for ESA) one can't help but be there...even though one may not want to ;-)

Highly recommended for those that like their SF dark and who do not shrink from intensive thinking.
