    "Chasm City" book 2 in the 6 book (so far) "Revelation Space" series
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017*

Chasm City - Novel, Science Fiction - [0736 - 2017-02-20]  Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds is a science fiction novel and is also known as book 2 in the 5 book (so far) "Revelation Space" series published during 2000-2007. Curious readers may ask can this novel be read without reading the prior book "Revelation Space". In truth yes it can but your enjoyment and the comprehension of story events would be greatly enhanced if you had read "Revelation Space". Fortunately there is an authors introduction to this book that may or may not help new readers.  In this long novel, my paperback was 694 pages with a small font, one Tanner Mirabel - a solider-of-fortune - persists against overwhelming odds to hunts down an individual, Argent Reivich, that killed his friends. In my opinion the plot is almost immaterial to the author's elaborate descriptions of Chasm City, it residences and the circumstances of it's creation and de-evolution. Another sub-plot that I found most interesting is the story of Sky Haussmann founder of his Tanner Mirabel's home world, Sky's Edge. Tanner experiences Haussmann story through virus-induced flashbacks.  This is an elaborate and detailed science-fiction story that kept me up many evenings. Alastair Reynolds crams an encyclopedia of background in this novel that induced this reader to read book 3 "Redemption Ark". I am not exaggerating when I use the term encyclopedia. The Wikipedia has numerous pages on the characters, factors and locations of Revelation Space. Readers are strongly encouraged to check out the information - I was impressed, indeed.  Mr. Reynolds, with his Ph.D. in astronomy is a master at technological extrapolation. Therefore this story exhibits many "hard" aspects of hardware type science-fiction that will cause long time fans weep with joy and others to whimper with annoyance.

    ... gumshoe-style detective work in this that detracted from Reynolds' excellent sci fi world building
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017*

There was a lot of classic gumshoe-style detective work in this that detracted from Reynolds' excellent sci fi world building, and it felt over-long by about 200 pages. Great twists-and-turns, just took a bit too long to get where it was going. It would also have been nice to have some female characters with actual development. Overall another great effort, but not one of my favorites due to the long interludes of filler.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good Writing, Universe a Bit Lacking
  

*by D***6 on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020*

Author is very easy to read and engaging. I read the other two books in the series first and was more engaged by the light huggers and rust belt. Chasm City seems separate from the first two books in several ways so it is difficult to resolve how it fits into the universe introduced and developed in the other two books in the series. You might want to skip this one if you were hoping it would build characters from the other two books.
