Come to Chasm City and embark on a mind-bending ride through the universe of Revelation Space Tanner Mirabel was a security specialist who never made a mistake - until the day a woman in his care was blown away by Argent Reivich, a vengeful young postmortal. Tanner's pursuit of Reivich takes him across light-years of space to Chasm City, the domed human settlement on the otherwise inhospitable planet of Yellowstone. But Chasm City is not what it was. The one time high-tech utopia has become a Gothic nightmare: a nanotechnological virus has corrupted the city's inhabitants as thoroughly as it has the buildings and machines. Before the chase is done, Tanner will have to confront truths which reach back centuries, towards deep space and an atrocity history barely remembers.

An excellent novel and a fine example of Alastair Reynolds' work.
Although some plot twists are easy to guess, the details don't work out the way you might think, allowing for juicy surprises without jarring the reader into feeling that the story has jumped the tracks.
Tie-ins to other works by the author are tantalizing and make the world feel connected, but they're subtle enough that the book can be read by itself without any prior knowledge of the setting.
