{{work|wppage=Revelation Space universe}}
A fictive [[the Verse|universe]] written by [[Alastair Reynolds]] accounting for most (but not all) of his episodic stories, named after the [[Revelation Space|first novel]] in the central trilogyquatralogy (after other attempts at naming didn't stick). The series has a quality that changes throughout, but can be summarised as 'pessimistic sci-fi with humour that is [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness|hard]] but unafraid to refer to genre mainstays' (or more topically stated, ''tropes'').

* The main 'Inhibitor Cycle', with four books so far:
* ''[[Revelation Space]]''
** ''Redemption[[Revelation ArkSpace]]''

* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]] : Doctor Trintignant from ''Diamond Dogs'', Grelier from ''Absolution Gap''.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]] : Grelier is surprisingly loyal to Quaiche, even after he learns about what he had planned and done.
