Machine Vendetta Alastair Reynolds ISBN: 978-0316462846 Machine Vendetta is the final Revelation Space novel we’re getting and the final part of the Dreyfus trilogy and it could have been a lot better. Unlike the previous book in the series, there was only one main thread and consequently lacked a lot of the Space Opera we’re used to from Reynolds. A lot of the plot was predictable, including the Ultras coming to the rescue and Hafdis being key towards the end. There’s no real ending either. There are far too many loose ends left untied. It really felt like just one more novel to finish the authors publishing contract and it wasn’t really given the love and attention it deserved.
