The next strand centres around Ilia Volyova aboard the Nostalgia for Infinity, a large ship capable of interstellar travel. Over the course of decades, Sylveste learns that the Amarantin may have become technologically sophisticated before their sun destroyed life on the planet Resurgam nearly a million years prior. Sylveste is an archaeologist excavating the remains of the long-dead Amarantin race that lived on a planet in the Delta Pavonis system. The first strand centres around Dan Sylveste, beginning in the year 2551. This plot structure is characteristic of many of Reynolds's works. Revelation Space begins with three seemingly unrelated narrative strands that merge as the novel progresses. It was short listed for the 2000 BSFA and Arthur C. The novel reflects Reynolds's professional background: he has a PhD in astronomy and worked for many years for the European Space Agency. It was the first novel (but not first published work of fiction) set in Reynolds's eponymous universe.
Revelation Space is a 2000 science fiction novel by Welsh author Alastair Reynolds.
