Neal Asher was born in Billericay, Essex, and divides his time between here and Crete. His previous full-length novels include Gridlinked, The Skinner, The Line of Polity, Cowl, Brass Man, The Voyage of the Sable Keech, Hilldiggers, Prador Moon, Line War, Shadow of the Scorpion, Orbus and The Technician, The Departure, Zero Point and Jupiter War, and the Transformation trilogy, Dark Intelligence, War Factory and Infinity Engine.
Orbus hits every nail on the head, every time. Neal has not only delivered an excellent, enthralling and action-packed story, but probably his most accomplished and enjoyable novel to date. I honestly can't recommend this one highly enough -- <i><b>Walker of Worlds</b></i> It is, like all of Asher's work, brilliant fun -- <b><i>Deathray</i></b> Rail-guns rattle off, pulse rifles fire out shots and explosions ring out. This is what Asher does best -- <i><b>SciFiNow</b></i> Asher delivers a satisfying space opera full of adrenaline highs . . . Fast-paced fun -- <b><i>SFX</i></b>
