Redemption Ark pays off much of what Mr. Reynolds launched in Revelation Space. We learn more about the apocalyptic Inhibiters as their plans come to something like fruition. Meanwhile, the factions laid out in the first novel now fight for keeps in a war fundamentally about whether to stay and fight an alien race intent upon humanity's destruction, risking human civilization, or to flee to somewhere the Inhibiters will, or cannot, follow. All the whacky favorites from Revelation Space are back in Redemption Ark, ready for another pounding from the author who gave them life. (4/5 Stars)
