Summary
Miguel de Ruyter is a man with a past.
Fleeing the 'wolves'—the xenocidal alien machines known as Inhibitors—he has protected his family and community from attack for 40 years, sheltering in the caves of an airless, battered world called Michaelmas. The slightest hint of human activity could draw the wolves to their home, to destroy everything...utterly. Which is how Miguel finds himself on a one-way mission with his own destructive mandate: to eliminate a passing ship, before it can bring unwanted attention down on them.
Only something goes wrong.
There's a lone survivor.
And she knows far more about Miguel than she's letting on....
Ranging from the depths of space to the deeps of Pattern Juggler waters, from nervous, isolated communities to the ruins of empire, this is a stealthy space opera from an author at the top of his game.

As good as Revelation Space... possibly better!
I have been in love with the Revelation Space universe and all the novels for many years. Inhibitor Phase is a welcome return to that setting and I love it just as much as I did the original trilogy. I also like how it acts as a standalone novel, with the details of the previous novels scattered as easter eggs for those in the know. John Lee is the best narrator and brings Reynolds' characters alive. If you enjoyed Revelation Space please read this.

another riveting tale
Totally, brilliantly imagined. Such a reliable author whose imagining is on par with the greats like Clive Barker and S King.

inhibitor Phase
Found it a struggle to finish didn't root for the characters enough. I'm a bit fed up of John Lee posh female voice though it's obviously liked in the ether.

Alastair Reynolds on top form
This is a magnificent addition and return to the Revelation Space universe, with a really well crafted story. I didn’t want to stop listening!

Integrated standalone journey
Helps to have read the other novels set in the universe conjured up by Mr Reynolds but not essential. Excellent listen for those long dog walks.

Good story, poor delivery
I enjoyed the story but it was quite an effort to make it through the 19hrs with the staccato delivery. I’m not sure if it was an affected delivery or if it was just the narrator’s normal method but I found it troubling. Still - I enjoy a good Alastair Reynolds.

A sequel to Revelation Space series?
Power level increases! This too is a solid scifi story. I consider it a sequel to the revelation space set.

Decent story loses momentum in last third
John Lee does a good performance with clear diction and distinct characters.
This story was very engaging for two thirds of the book. Then it seemed to lose its way and took a rather odd turn that did not really gel with the rest of the book. Even the narrator seemed to be having a slight difficulty. No spoilers but it will be obvious.
After that point I thought about giving up but stuck it to the end.
As always the world building is great. A familiar universe with great depth.

Homage to alien is probably the best bit.
I read it because Reynolds wrote it. I'll read part 2 when that's written. I wouldn't have read either if I wasn't really into Revelation Space.

The Saga continues and Humanity persists
Great book in the long line of the Revelation but with some.of the previous intensity lacking, and the persuasive storytelling meandering wordily but without substance and finally, disappointingly, fading out.
It could be the beginning of a great continuance in the saga, or perhaps time to finally say 'goodbye' and move on into a new creation.
I look forward to new pastures...... and perhaps reading the section of chapter six that was somehow left out of this recording !!! GET IT SORTED AUDIBLE!
