| Why it’s on the list | The third and final Dreyfus novel: Prefect Dreyfus investigates the suspicious death of a fellow prefect, which pulls the two artificial intelligences the earlier books left unresolved back into the open — the closing move on a sequence about an institution whose entire mandate is keeping one system honest. |

Where I heard about it
- a16z’s infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the Sci-fi “also worth reading” section (B tier), as volume three of the Dreyfus Emergencies under the Revelation Space series.
About this edition
Read after The Prefect and Elysium Fire — it resolves threads from both rather than standing on its own. It is the last book Reynolds has published in this universe.
