Alastair Reynolds redefines Hell in this award-winning novel that confirms him as “the most exciting space opera writer working today”(Locus).

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 nightmare through which he searches for a low-life post-mortal killer. But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Chasm City
Winner of The British Science Fiction Association's Award for Best Novel of the Year
One of Locus and Science Fiction Chronicle's "Best SF Novels of the Year"

"Deep, complex and always more than [it] seems. Reynolds succeeds in the hardest task of good science fiction, creating a new world full of wonder."--The Denver Post

"A tightly written story that spirals inevitably inwards toward its powerful conclusion. [Chasm City] confirms Reynolds as the most exciting space opera writer working today."--Locus

"The best thing that Reynolds has ever done...in the end, it's a joy."--John Clute, author of Appleseed, coeditor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

"A worth follow-up to Revelation Space. Reynolds transmutes space opera into a nourish, baroque, picaresque mystery tale. Inventiveness and tone are Reynolds' strong points...the novel's details are consistently startling but convincing in context. Reynolds remains one of the hottest new SF writers around."--Publishers Weekly

"Successfully combines SF noir with technothriller in a dark vision of the future."--Library Journal

"An impressive book. Another step toward what could become a very significant 21st century hard SF career."--SF Site
