About this ebook
Prador Moon is one of Neal Asher’s most explosive excursions into the Polity universe – a vivid, visceral, brilliantly intense space opera that you won’t forget.
It takes one encounter to turn peace into war . . .
The worlds of the Polity stretch from Earth Central into the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. And when humanity finally encounters alien life – in the form of massive, hostile carnivores known as the Prador – there can only be one outcome. Total warfare.
Chaos reigns as, caught unawares, the Polity struggles to regain control. It must try and remake itself into a military society as starships clash, planets fall and space stations are overrun. But for Jebel Krong and Moria Salem, trapped at the centre of the action, this war is far more than a clash of cultures or technology versus brute force. This war is personal.
Prador Moon is a standalone prequel to the dramatic events in Neal Asher's Spatterjay novels.

Characters are there, but the texts more explains events than makes you feel them. Not a book to read when tired. The story is slightly disjointed and there's tonnes of action, so you spend a lot of time piecing the story together, but that conclusion... wow.

So action packed that I read this novel over two nights. I was left begging for more and really dismayed that it was all over so quickly! Good job I have several of Neil Asher's other Polity novels downloaded, ready to get stuck into. Am suffering from sleep deprivation and I blame Mr. Asher! :-)

For fans of STAR WARS who are willing to roller skate around an industrial meat grinder whilst blind folded and covered in baby oil and also extremely drunk!
