In the distant future, enforcement agent Quillion is living incognito in the last human city of Spearpoint, working in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, his world is wrenched apart. For the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels. And to save the angel's life, Quillion must leave his home and travel into the cold and hostile lands beyond the city.

reviewed Terminal world by Alastair Reynolds

slow and interesting

Lot’s of banter in a strange world afflicted by invisible, hazardous boundaries. Enjoyed the concepts but would love more in-depth details, just anything, about the origin of the zones. The end came quick and had lots more fun stuff that was sadly never expanded upon (thinking of the Mad Machines).
