Revelation Space made my top 10 scifi book list. However, Reynolds next book is nothing more than a simple action story, a complete disappointment. Even the main character is not terribly interested in the direction of the story. A couple of interesting themes were explored though: Immortality, leisure studies, body modification, bodily computer viruses, and genetically modified animals.

I'm really not sure if I should bother with the rest of the Revelation Space series.
