![]() ![]() The name " Revelation Space universe" has been used by Alastair Reynolds in both the introductory text in the collections Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days and Galactic North, and also on several editions of the novels set in the universe. Reynolds has said he prefers to keep the science in his fiction plausible, but he will adopt science he believes to be impossible when it is necessary for the story. It is, nonetheless, somewhat "harder" than most examples of space opera, relying to a considerable extent on science Reynolds believes to be possible in particular, faster-than-light travel is largely absent. The Revelation Space universe is a fictional universe which was set in a future version of our world, with the addition of a number of extraterrestrial species and advanced technologies that are not necessarily grounded in current science. It takes its name from Revelation Space (2000), which was the first published novel set in the universe. Its fictional history follows the human species through various conflicts from the relatively near future (roughly 2200) to approximately 40,000 AD (all the novels to date are set between 24, although certain stories extend beyond this period). The fictional universe it is set in is used as the setting for a number of his novels and stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Revelation Space series is a book series created by Alastair Reynolds that debuted with the novel Revelation Space in 2000.
