Title: EMPTY SPACE!
Review: I love hard sci-fi, but Mr Reynold's Revelation Space is a dull and insipid second-rate tale that belongs somewhere in the Star Trek league.It might all be scientifically squared off, but the storyline is repetitious and confusing, the characters lack any saving graces, and the ending is incredibly unimaginative and sell-out.To me, it felt like Mr Reynolds was trying to distill the best of Iaine M.Banks, Dan Simmons and Peter F Hamilton all into one pastiche of the genre...and failed.Mr Reynolds, either stick to the hard science you understand, or take a writing course in developing human characters we can sympathize with and actually want to follow across the universe.Sorry Alastair, but Revelation Space reads like Empty Space.
