It's a blog! Mainly of book reviews.
First of a projected trilogy, with the second available in hardback at the time of writing.
Intra-family strife, secrets, the death of a Matriarch and a trans-solar-system treasure hunt for - who knows what? Imagine what The Da Vinci Code could have been if written by a competent SF novelist as opposed to an incompetent thriller writer and you will have some idea about this book. Also imagine African elephants, which feature quite a bit and left me with some of the more abiding images from this book.
People looking for trademark Reynolds Gothicism/grotesquery will find it in short supply and quite heavily disguised but it would have been out of place in this story so the lack of it does no harm.
I am intrigued to know where the 2nd volume takes us, which can't be a bad thing.
