CenturyRain




тАЬFor ReynoldsтАЩs efforts, the reader is treated to concepts that engage on a galactic scale and snippets of
humor in touchy situations. Yes, the pace is easy, but it belies a low hum of excitement that crescendos
to a counterpoint of science and humanity saving one or two worlds.тАЭ

тАФThe Kansas City Star

тАЬAn intriguing mixture of future and alternate historyтАжReynolds possesses the true and awesome
widescreen SF imaginationтАж[He] is an established paladin of space opera, but he clearly knows and
loves noir as well, deploying its tropes with affection and expertise. Century Rain is an exciting, thought-
provoking novel, an audacious synthesis of genre formsтАжAlastair Reynolds is now in his novelistic
prime.тАЭ

тАФLocus

тАЬReynolds is a superb teller of hard SF tales, as fans of his Revelation Space trilogy already know.
Where he will take us on this new journey is anyoneтАЩs guess, but itтАЩs bound to be an interesting rideтАж
[The] plot combines elements of space adventure, mystery, and the spy thriller to good effectтАжIt has
plenty of action, a pronounced mystery flavor, and good characters. I strongly recommend the book.тАЭ

тАФSF Revu

тАЬPart noir time travel, part alternate history, and part hard SF thriller, with alien artifacts and augmented
humans, Century Rain is a darkly brilliant love story set in worlds we think we know but donтАЩt.тАЭ

тАФThe Guardian (UK)

тАЬA very enjoyable bookтАжThere is so much to likeтАжat times it is as vividly gripping as any thriller and
there is a casual brilliance to ReynoldsтАЩs imagination.тАЭ

тАФSF Site

тАЬA fast-moving story of SF intrigue that combines the ambiance of the 1950s with time travel and
nanotechnology. Straightforward storytelling and appealing characters make this a good choice.тАЭ

тАФLibrary Journal

тАЬA solid, well-crafted, and at times very imaginative piece of science fictionтАжReynolds has managed to
create some thoroughly nasty little monsters, genuinely creepy and threatening, and consequently thereтАЩs
some really gripping tensionтАжthis is good workтАжengaging, well-written, worth taking the time to read.тАЭ
