Prador Moon: A Novel of the Polity by Neal Asher
I read Prador Moon out of sequence, as I’ve mentioned, so my reasons for liking and not liking aspects of it are tinged by this, but overall, I think it’s a good addition to the series. Though I’d read about Jebel Krong, it was only through More >

Shadow of the Scorpion: A Novel of the Polity by Neal Asher
‘Shadow of the Scorpion’ is a fun read (loads of fun in fact) that suffered from structural problems once I stopped to actually think about what I was reading. It didn’t hang together very well but I found enough there to make me want More >

Prador Moon: A Novel Of The Polity by Neal Asher
‘Prador Moon’ is an essential read for ‘space opera fans’ like myself with the emphasis on warfare with an alien species, be it on the surface of alien planets or in the cosmos. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Prador, giant carnivorous crabs with shells and More >

Line War (Agent Cormac 5)
The Polity is under attack from a melded AI entity with control of the lethal Jain technology, yet the attack seems to have no coherence.
