Named one of the best novels of the year by both Locus and Science Fiction Chronicle, Alastair Reynolds's debut Revelation Space redefined the space opera. With Chasm City, Reynolds invites you to reenter the bizarre universe of his imagination as he redefines Hell...
The once-utopian Chasm City-a domed human settlement on an otherwise inhospitable planet-has been overrun by a virus known as the Melding Plague, capable of infecting any body, organic or computerized. Now, with the entire city corrupted-from the people to the very buildings they inhabit-only the most wretched sort of existence remains. For security operative Tanner Mirabel, it is the landscape of nightmares through which he searches for a lowlife postmortal killer. But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget.

I found this really mediocre. It does provide some interesting context for Revelation Space and the first third of the book was quite promising. However, it really stalled after, with the main plot twist being quite predictable, and the ending felt really contrived. My suspense of disbelief was thoroughly broken by the end, none of what the main character did or became made sense. The Prefect was much better!

Good work, fitting nicely into the Revelation Space series. Maybe not Reynolds best work, but certainly worth the read if you enjoyed the other parts in the series!
