The stars are silent, and the last humans hide beneath an airless moon. Miguel de Ruyter has kept his fragile colony alive for decades, buried deep within Michaelmas’s caverns while the universe above burns.
Haunted by loss and bound by duty, he’s a man who’s learned to live in the shadows. His only purpose: protect his people from the cybernetic predators that scour the galaxy for survivors.
When a lone ship pierces their sanctuary’s silence, Miguel faces an impossible choice—destroy the intruder or risk revealing everything he’s fought to protect. The stranger he saves, a woman called Glass, holds secrets that could rewrite what remains of humanity.
Readers praise Inhibitor Phase for its haunting scope and emotional depth within Alastair Reynolds’s acclaimed Revelation Space universe.
