Description

Award-winning author Alastair Reynolds creates "a fascinating hybrid of space opera, police procedural and character study" (Publishers Weekly) with this novel set in the Revelation Space universe.
Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law enforcement officer with the Panoply. His beat is the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds.
His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that leaves nine hundred people dead. But his investigation uncovers something far more serious than mass slaughter -- a covert plot by an enigmatic entity who seeks nothing less than total control of the Glitter Band.

    This is the prefect, why the name change and release date change? -apple this should be looked at as a scam.
  • Not New - this is The Prefect from 2007 with a new title and cover

    I got suckered into buying this with a release date of April 2020 and was NOT pleased to find out it’s “The Prefect” renamed, new cover, and new issue date. Shame on everyone involved in this BS money grab.
