Miguel de Ruyter is a man with a past. Fleeing the 'wolves' - the xenocidal alien machines
known as Inhibitors - he has protected his family and community from attack for forty years
sheltering in the caves of an airless battered world called Michaelmas. The slightest hint of
human activity could draw the wolves to their home to destroy everything ... utterly. Which is
how Miguel finds himself on a one-way mission with his own destructive mandate: to eliminate a
passing ship before it can bring unwanted attention down on them. Only something goes wrong.
There's a lone survivor. And she knows far more about Miguel than she's letting on . . .
Ranging from the depths of space to the deeps of Pattern Juggler waters from nervous isolated
communities to the ruins of empire this is a stealthy space opera from an author at the top of
his game. Praise for Al Reynolds' Revenger 'A swashbuckling thriller' The Guardian 'A
blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future' The Sun 'A rollicking
adventure yarn with action abduction fights and properly scary hazards' The Daily Telegraph
'By far the most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written' SFX
