This book is based on very complex ideas, and packed with action. Not everything resolved by the end, usually a peeve for me, but it had enough answers to be a complete novel. I want to find the sequel (I'm sure there must be one) and start reading it right away. ETA: no, there apparently is no sequel as of 2017. This book, like all other books by Alastair Reynolds, was interesting, well-written, and a bit uncommon - which is a good thing, I believe. It didn't make it to a full 5 stars in my rating because there were too many unanswered questions remaining in the end. The story was still good, but perhaps I'm selfish in wanting more. But maybe he just wanted us to think for ourselves, or maybe he just didn't think it was really important. I suppose to answer all the questions may have made the book significantly bigger, and that wasn't in the cards. By the way, I "read" the audiobook version, which was well read and easy to follow. The world was nebulous (compared to revelation space), the plot dense with cliches and characters so unlikeable I was rooting for the carnivorgs (flesh eating brain slurping mechanical dogs). Honestly, the bad-ass woman who can't stop swearing gets old really quickly. The core idea of zones of different technological advancement was an interesting and a really fun conceit. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Spearpoint, the last human city, is an atmosphere-piercing spire of vast size. Clinging to its skin are the zones, a series of semi-autonomous city-states, each of which enjoys a different-and rigidly enforced-level of technology. Following an infiltration mission that went tragically wrong, Quillon has been living incognito, working as a pathologist in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, Quillon's world is wrenched apart one more time. If Quillon is to save his life, he must leave his home and journey into the cold and hostile lands beyond Spearpoint's base, starting an exile that will take him further than he could ever imagine. But there is far more at stake than just Quillon's own survival, for the limiting technologies of the zones are determined not by governments or police but by the very nature of reality-and reality itself is showing worrying signs of instability.

This is another one of Alastair's trilogy in a single novel book, so if you aren't in for a long haul then don't bother. But if you don't mind a thousand Kindle Loc points of reading to get through this'll keep you going.
While i didn't find it anything like the normal page turners that Alastair generally puts out, i did keep coming back to it twice a day for a little read and soon got through it.
So, while not the greatest thing that Alastair has ever written, and personally wishing he'd just stick to the sci-fi that he's so brilliant at, it's still a fairly good read.
Next book in Alastair's timeline is Troika. ( )
