“For Reynolds’s 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.”

—The Kansas City Star

“An intriguing mixture of future and alternate history…Reynolds possesses the true and awesome
widescreen SF imagination…[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 forms…Alastair Reynolds is now in his novelistic
prime.”

—Locus

“Reynolds 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 anyone’s guess, but it’s bound to be an interesting ride…
[The] plot combines elements of space adventure, mystery, and the spy thriller to good effect…It has
plenty of action, a pronounced mystery flavor, and good characters. I strongly recommend the book.”

—SF Revu

“Part 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 don’t.”

—The Guardian (UK)

“A very enjoyable book…There is so much to like…at times it is as vividly gripping as any thriller and
there is a casual brilliance to Reynolds’s imagination.”

—SF Site

“A 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.”

—Library Journal

“A solid, well-crafted, and at times very imaginative piece of science fiction…Reynolds has managed to
create some thoroughly nasty little monsters, genuinely creepy and threatening, and consequently there’s
some really gripping tension…this is good work…engaging, well-written, worth taking the time to read.”
