From Little Stack
Set in the far future where humanity has spread to the stars, Revelation Space introduces us to the Inhibitors, machines, ruins, and most curious of all, warnings left behind by ancient machine intelligences.
Our protagonist is obsessed with uncovering the remnants of the Amarantin, and all signs are pointing to a non-natural extinction (aka, death by something terrible and powerful). The Lovecraftian edge to this story makes it feel grander and darker than you might expect. You will be terrified—and love every minute of the experience.
This highly acclaimed first novel in the Revelation Space universe has redefined the space opera with a staggering journey across vast gulfs of time and space to confront the very nature of reality itself.
Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight. Now one scientist, Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the Amarantin riddle before ancient history repeats itself.
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.
