The Prefect Dreyfus Emergencies

"Elysium Fire is a tremendously assured read, a fast-paced page-turner that delivers a well thought out story and characters you'll come to care about."--The Guardian (UK) "Reynolds combines depth in characterization and dazzling hard-science applications to keep the reader turning pages."--Booklist "This novel's ideas are mind-stretching, including a limbo where copies of the dead can be kept and interrogated, and a chillingly mischievous AI that tempts and mocks Dreyfus. The big concepts and complex story effectively pull readers into intriguing speculation about human identity and potential."--Publishers Weekly "[Reynolds] is the most gifted hard SF writers working today." --Publishers Weekly on Beyond the Aquila Rift "Heir to writers like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, Reynolds keeps up the tradition of forward thinking... An immensely thrilling, mind-bending piece of work." --AV Club on House of Suns "[Reynolds is] a mastersinger of the space opera." --The Times (UK) on Blue Remembered Earth "One of the giants of the new British space opera." --io9 on Alastair Reynolds "A leading light of the new British space opera." --Los Angeles Review of Books on Alastair Reynolds "Revenger is classic Reynolds-that is to say, top of the line science fiction, where characters are matched beautifully with ideas and have to find their place in a complex future. More!"--Greg Bear on Revenger "A swashbuckling thriller--Pirates of the Caribbean meets Firefly--that nevertheless combines the author's trademark hard SF with effective, coming-of-age characterization."--The Guardian on Revenger
