A review by ianmitchell
The Line of Polity by Neal Asher

3.0

Asher has lots of great ideas. This novel is set in his "Polity" universe, which makes me think of an early version of Iain M. Banks' Culture going through growing pains. He has highly imaginative worlds and the plot of the story is reasonably interesting. The reason I can only give this 3 stars though is I found myself just not caring. The characters weren't particularly interesting or well-developed, and while there was nothing particularly wrong with the writing it didn't pull me in to the novel either.
