Summary
Named one of the best novels of the year by both Locus and Science Fiction Chronicle, Alastair Reynolds's debut Revelation Space redefined the space opera. With Chasm City, Reynolds invites you to reenter the bizarre universe of his imagination as he redefines Hell.
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 nightmares through which he searches for a lowlife postmortal killer. But the stakes are raised when his search brings him face to face with a centuries-old atrocity that history would rather forget.

assassins across the galaxy
well narrated with a dynamic plot line. however sudden jolts of scene change could have been made a bit smoother, unless that was the intention.

Another story?!
Having read all of AR’s books to get to hear them read has given me a new set of stories. Of course you know the plot BUT JL’s narrative gives a different slant - fantastic!

what happened to the real baddy?
Lee is his usual self, great narrative voice but not the greatest range of accents. the story develops cleverly and keeps being a step or two ahead of the listener until the end. what happens to the original character? felt the story wasn't completed quite right. enjoyed the 20+ hrs of listening.

amazing ideas - but maybe too many of them?
i was captivated by chasm city - as in the setting. absolutely loved it - more than so many other sci fi settings. brilliant.
did the story really need all those weird twists and turns though?

Life is What You Make It
This story is brilliantly written and the convoluted plot needs to be listened to attentively. There has been critisism of the narrator, but although his diction is annunciated and sometimes theatrical for the main character does work if you let it. After all we are talking about alien humans. The minor characters take mant other accents, inclding Brummie, but you usually know whose speaking. Even when things get really complicated! The sf plot is memorable and although a slow burn overall, it is cut into chunks which have enough action to excite all the way through.
