The central Revelation Space novels follow human settlements and posthuman factions as the legacy of the extinct Amarantin and the Inhibitors comes into focus. Start with Revelation Space and continue with Redemption Ark and Absolution Gap; Chasm City is a related story that can be read at several points, and Inhibitor Phase returns to the setting much later.
