a novel that works brilliantly as a space adventure and also reads, touchingly, almost as an atheist's reflection on why a kind of optimistic agnosticism may be a useful approach to finding contentment
SFX
'Some spellbinding shorter fiction'.

Above all else, <i>Beyond the Aquila Rift</i> is full of wonders. You can find them in every story, reminding me why I love Alastair Reynolds' novels so much.
FOR WINTER NIGHTS
It's grand, involving and full of light and wonder. Poseidon's Wake is one of the best sci-fi novels of the year
Sci-Fi Now
his finest moment yet and a glorious conclusion of the trilogy. A wonderful book and best that British SF has to offer at the moment
Upcoming 4 Me
Although a long book, with so much story to fit in there is a brevity to the text which makes it an easy read which can be enjoyed as a standalone even though it satisfactorily revisits and resolves the majority of the threads from the previous novels
Geek Chocolate
a well realised sci-fi universe, with plausible character
SF&F Reviews
Having completed the trilogy I now want to return to its beginning and re-read. Alastair Reynolds is one of my very favourite authors, every book is a much-anticipated event, and with<i>Poseidon's Wake</i> he shows yet again why that is. I loved every single page.
For Winter's Nights
Transhumans, talking elephants, inscrutable aliens and good old fashioned spaceship fights all contribute to a breathtaking adventure
THE SUN
A well-paced, complex story replete with intrigue, invention and an optimism uncommon in contemporary SF
The Guardian
