He talked about it on his blog: http://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=5438. It's probably a long way off since hes doing his intelligent squid/sentient money book next iirc.

Is it worth it to continue with the Revelation Space series if the first one didn't do much for me? I mean I liked some of the ideas in the book and I thought the middle section of the book was decent but I really didn't like how the last hundred pages are half lovely slasher movie last act and infodumps after infodumps. Especially when those infodumps were things that the book seemed like it was on the verge of explaining hundreds of pages ago but then cut off to switch to a new scene so they didn't ruin the surprise.

If you think Revelation Space is doing an awful job at introducing characters and pulling you in now, wait until you get to the last hundred pages of purestrain exposition because Alistair Reynolds decided to push the telling the story part of the story until the very end. Incidentally, I'm reading Chasm City (about a hundred pages in) and really enjoying it so far. It feels more natural so maybe he learned about pacing after Revelation Space or maybe the smaller scale(?) helped.
