A review by tuftymctavish
Prador Moon by Neal Asher
4.0
I wasn't too sure of the order in which to read these Polity Universe books, but as Goodreads assured me this was #1 in that series I decided to start here, having previously sampled a little Agent Cormac in Gridlinked.
Prador Moon briefly mentions the Dragon which had a more significant, and still for me unexplained, part in Gridlinked. But we swiftly move on to the real foe of the story, a 'tastily' alien race. What follows is a quite rapid escalation of the story. It's a short-ish story, a thin novel, so some scenes are rapidly passed through with too little fanfare: the origins of and reasons for Moria's aug, or the development of Jebel Krong between his early persona and that of the bulk of this tale.
So as an action story, I enjoyed it. On to the next in the Goodreads ordering of this series then...
