Summary of The Prefect
A full-length novel set in the Revelation Space universe that?s ?sublime entertainment? and ?gripping in the extreme.?( Locus)Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law enforcement officer with the Panoply. His beat is the multi-faceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds.
His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that leaves nine hundred people dead, a crime that appalls even a hardened cop like Dreyfus. But then his investigation uncovers something even more potentially dangerous?a covert plot by an enigmatic entity seeking nothing less than total control of the Glitter Band?
