R. Martin on <i>Aurora Rising</i><br><br>'The most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written' <i>SFX </i>on <i>Revenger</i><br><br>'The span here is mind-boggling, cosmos-spanning concepts, a breath-taking journey' <i>Good Book Guide</i> on <i>Chasm City</i><br><br>'[A] wonderfully entertaining puzzle wrapped inside an adventure story' <i>The Guardian</i> on <i>Eversion</i><br><br>'A fabulous and satisfying novel' <i>SF Crowsnest</i> on <i>Revenger</i><br><br>'An excellent adventure that's sure to keep readers on their toes' <i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>Revenger</i><br><br>'A fun, character focused bottle mystery that shifts settings like a chameleon walking across a rainbow carpet' <i>The Quill to Live</i> on <i>Eversion</i><br><br>'Entertaining and thought-provoking' <i>Locus </i>on <i>Revelation Space</i><br><br>'Pirates in space, full of peril and high-jinks . . . This is a novel that's elegantly plotted, full of surprises and, as first time round, rip-roaring fun' <i>SFX </i>on <i>Revenger</i><br><br>'Reynolds is one of the modern masters of science fiction' <i>Starburst</i><br><br>'This is a story to break hearts and make you turn pages. It's great stuff; pick it up, you'll want to know what happens next' <i>SF&F Reviews</i> on <i>Century Rain</i><br><br>'Much of the fun of these books comes from the construction of a far, far-future space-opera . . . the mapping of Age of Sail tropes onto space travel is just the start . . . Nevertheless, at the centre of this baroque masquerade party resides a sober consideration of what it might mean to go off adventuring, what it might cost' <i>Locus </i>on <i>Revenger</i><br><br>'Reynolds is a master singer of the Space Opera' <i>The Times</i></p>
