Alastair Reynolds
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.

"This book took me 2 years to read. Why? The same reason why I'm giving it 4 stars as oppose to 5. The author was overly descriptive. Don't get me wrong, it's a marvelous read, it's just too detailed for me. Personally, I didn't want a whole page description on eyeshade. But hey, if you're one to prefer the author paint every nook in cranny in your imagination then go ahead. It was my first sci-fi read and I loved the story, LOVED IT. Will I read another book in the series? Sure, but only with the help of an audiobook though."
