Asher’s writing always seems somehow rushed, but Prador felt like it was banged out over a weekend. The Prador themselves are just completely uninteresting both as aliens and as villians … I mean, giant space crabs? Really? And, to my bafflement, he keeps using them in his newer books.

I do enjoy his Agent Cormac saga stuff (the dude can tell a ripping yarn), but it’s usually more candy than meat.

Unofficial Neal Asher drinking game:

take a shot whenever he uses the words “nacreous” or “actinic.”
