Elysium Fire by Alastair Reynolds
4.0
Reynolds, Alastair. Elysium Fire. Prefect Dreyfus Emergency No. 2. Orbit, 2018.
Elysium Fire is a sequel to The Prefect (2007). It is a finely tuned who-done-it and how-they-done-it mystery set in the huge orbiting habitats of the Glitter Band familiar from Reynolds’ well-established Revelation Space series. All the threads come together nicely in the end in a surprisingly fast-paced conclusion. I won’t delve into the details, but I must say, I really like the multifunctional whip hounds that the prefects use for crowd control, apprehension, investigation, truncheon, sword, scythe, and even handcuffs. Robocop would love one. 4 stars.
