Revelation Space.
About a million years ago, the Amarantine people, intelligent descendants of flightless birds, perished on the planet Resurgem. This happened shortly after they mastered the technology of space travel. Archaeologist Dan Sylvest is ready to take any risk to unravel the secret of the disappearance of the Amarantine civilization. Otherwise, the scientist is convinced, its sad fate may be shared by humanity, which has settled on the planets. As a result of the rebellion, Sylvest lost his assistants and resources, moreover, he was outlawed. Seeing no other means to achieve his goal, he blackmails the crew of the merchant starship "Nostalgia for Infinity" into allies. It seems that it would be less risky to make a deal with the devil. Centuries of wandering in space, a constant struggle for survival have turned these people into calculating mechanisms. They are ruthless, fearless and inventive, and they are used to achieving their goals at any cost. And one of them, by the way, arrived on Resurgem with a secret mission to kill Sylveste...
The City of the Abyss.
A debt of honor requires that Tanner Mirabel, a bodyguard and weapons specialist, take revenge on the killer of his employer. The search leads to the planet Yellowstone, where the "melting plague" - a mutation of tiny viral mechanisms that previously served people faithfully - has turned the City of the Abyss, the pearl of human culture, into something extremely strange, dark and extremely dangerous. Trying to survive and fulfill his mission in an absolutely hostile environment, Mirabel is again and again subjected to the onslaught of other people's memories - and begins to suspect that he is not who he thinks he is.
