A noir detective in a-Paris-that-could-have-been becomes embroiled in a plot to recover books and records for a Mars-based faction.... Lots of interesting ideas but also a lot of stuff to keep straight. I’d give this a 3.5, rounded up. That being said, I’ve only recently discovered Alastair Reynolds’ writing and he’s fast becoming one of my favorites for his wild imagination.
