Revelation Space

The first novel in the series introduces the expansive universe of Revelation Space, where a diverse cast of characters embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of a long-lost alien civilization. The story weaves together threads of mystery and adventure as the protagonists confront the legacy of the Inhibitors, a powerful force that threatens all intelligent life.

Set in the same universe as 'Revelation Space', this standalone novel follows the story of a man named Tanner Mirabel who seeks revenge in the sprawling and decadent city of Chasm City. As he delves into the city's dark past, he becomes embroiled in a web of conspiracy that reveals the disturbing history of human and alien interactions.

In 'Redemption Ark', the narrative expands as humanity faces the impending threat of the Inhibitors. The story follows multiple characters and their efforts to avert catastrophe, showcasing the struggles of various factions within the human race and their interactions with alien civilizations.

The concluding volume of the original trilogy, 'Absolution Gap' ties together the complex threads of the series. It focuses on the final showdown with the Inhibitors and explores the evolution of consciousness and identity as characters grapple with their pasts and the future of humanity.

A prequel to the main series, 'The Prefect' takes place in the Glitter Band, a collection of habitats orbiting a gas giant. It follows the story of Inspector Tom Dreyfus, who investigates a series of murders that threaten the fragile peace of the Glitter Band, revealing the political machinations and hidden dangers that lurk within.

Set in the same universe, 'Elysium Fire' serves as both a sequel to 'The Prefect' and a standalone story. It explores the implications of artificial intelligence on society and the consequences of living in a utopian environment, as Dreyfus faces a new threat that could unravel the very fabric of civilization.
