Second book of Alastair Reynolds I read, and I am very pleased to have "re-enlisted" with this author. The main advantage of this block is the permanent obsession of the author for the little technical and scientific detail. Even it is absolutely not in realism, the set releases (like "Space of revelation") perfume "hard science" that I find particularly fascinating. The journey through the famous Gouffre City is detailed with minute care, the plot is well designed. Writing sometimes lacks a little epic, but the space of hardcore opera fans who do not necessarily like the often marked kitsch of such productions will be delighted. Hoping that others already translated into French works will be promptly published in pocket format, to ensure that good books are only available to larger budgets reading! 5 So, without much hesitation.
