| Omschrijving | Essef - The first great science fiction novel of the century. Revelation space is a quest for the secrets of the universe. A huge, and magnificent space opera that ranges across vast gulfs of time and space. Step into infinity and enjoy the ride of the century!
On the planet Resurgam, archaeologist and scion of House Sylveste, Dan Sylveste, is engaged in an archaelogical dig, researching a species known as the Amarantin and cause of their apparent mass extinction, dubbed "the Event". He has to face several political problems on the colony, including a power struggle between the archaeologists and those interested in terraforming the planet to make it more comfortable.
Meanwhile, aboard the lighthugger Nostalgia for Infinity, Triumvir Ilia Volyova - an Ultranaut - is having problems both with her new Gunnery Officer, who has just gone insane, and with the Captain John Brannigan, who is infected with the Melding Plague. Plus, the ship is carrying a cache of 40 "Hell class" weapons that the crew found in a deserted area of space, and which are capable of some very nasty things, such as possibly causing stars to go nova, or annihilating entire planets.
And on Yellowstone, in Chasm City, ex-soldier Ana Khouri from Sky's Edge, separated and sent here away from her husband thanks to a clerical error, works as an assassin for Shadowplay, an organization that lets the wealthy take out contracts on themselves, so they can brag about the experience should they survive... |
