Revenger by Alastair Reynolds
4.0
I really enjoyed the Revelation Space Series by Reynolds, and determined that I will read anything he has written.
Although the story takes place in space, it isn't quite as technology heavy as Revelation Space. Revenger relies more on a steampunk, pirate and treasure hunt theme. The twist and turns of the characters and plot, are all Reynolds (I felt it to be so, anyway). It had it's brutal moments, somewhat unexpected because the book starts out as a kind of cozy sci-fi. I will be reading more in the trilogy.
