Inhibitor Phase

De: Alastair Reynolds

Narrado por: John Lee

Miguel de Ruyter is a man with a past.

Fleeing the 'wolves' - the xenocidal alien machines known as Inhibitors - he has protected his family and community from attack for forty years, sheltering in the caves of an airless, battered world called Michaelmas. The slightest hint of human activity could draw the wolves to their home, to destroy everything ... utterly. Which is how Miguel finds himself on a one-way mission with his own destructive mandate: to eliminate a passing ship, before it can bring unwanted attention down on them.

Only something goes wrong.
There's a lone survivor.
And she know far more about Miguel than she's letting on...

Ranging from the depths of space to the deeps of Pattern Juggler waters, from nervous, isolated communities to the ruins of Empire, this is a stealthy space opera from an author at the top of his game.

Revelation space revisited - no spoilers

Being a huge Alastair Reynolds fan, I was very excited about this book. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. My honest opinion is, that Inhibitor phase seems less imaginative than the original books, although it will probably satisfy the Revelation Space universe hunger with many fans. I would have liked it to bring more earth shattering ideas, and maybe more exploration of the unknown parts of the RS universe. It seems more like a nod to the trilogy, rather than a new installment.
In regards to narration, I think the performance is OK, but the lack of pauses during scene changes is a big problem, although the listener will soon get over this.
If you're generally thinking about reading the Revelation Space novels, just go ahead and do that: The trilogy is great, and no sci-fi fan should leave it unread.

Fantastic return to Revelation Space

Hyperpigs, Pattern Jugglers, and Nest Builders, whats not to like. I loved it. Thanks :)

not the complete book!

Chapter six of the book (named Chapter seven in the app) cuts off mid sentence.

Too much magic

The characters in Inhibitor Phase are demigod like and basically without flaws that would hinder them acting good. The technologies are all powerful, solving way too many plot points, to the point it really doesn't matter what happens, cause there is an implement that will negate it.

Now this still is a Revelation space novel, and I love the setting, and it has good parts.
