Machine Vendetta

Al is back! An excellent conclusion to the Dreyfuss series. Cleverly plotted and it moves at a cracking pace with some great scenes that fit neatly in to the greater “Revelation Space” universe. It isn’t forced but there are ominous hints of the plague to come.

There’s nothing especially new here since we know almost all of the characters (good and bad) and situations from the earlier books but they are re-worked way in interesting and plausible new ways. This is a clever genuine “detective” story in which our hero has to pull together the threads from several apparently unrelated events and work out how this links into the previous cases. Great work!
