up a Neal Asher novel, it was the Skinner, and after nineteen books, The Soldier being the nineteenth, I can say without the slightest bit of shyness IMO he is the best author of science fiction working today and probably my favorite writer of all time Nothing, NOTHING, compares to what these books do for me in terms of entertainment, and no other series approaches what he has done with creating a so richly defined world with layer upon layer upon layer May 6th 2016 marks the first day I picked up a Neal Asher novel, it was the Skinner, and aft...Exciting mingling of post humans, AIs, terrifyingly sinister spaceships and military technology this is a universe in trouble A little too emotionless and bitty for my taste but a fun read Review to follow shortly on For Winter Nights.Asher is one of my favourite authors period.This isn t without flaws, but I m giving it the full five as a reward for its ambitious scope and all out energy I can t imagine reading this without at least five or ten previous Ashers under your belt Surely it would be overwhelming If you ARE used to Asher s universe, you know that nearly all constraints of logistical feasibility are abandoned, but it a strangely ...I want to say this is a great standalone book, but in my humble opinion if one were to read this book first they are cheating themselves of the brilliant universe that Neal Asher

to tick all my boxes The two main issues I had with it were lots of POVs that chopped and changed too often, and the fact that almost none of the cast were regular humans, as far as they go in the Polity Instead we got a collection of high end powers with almost unending resources There really didnt feel like a threat going on here, and the threat we did have was so I m really not sure about
