Review

PRAISE FOR THE OWNER SERIES: ‘Playing like a turbo-charged mix of Total Recall and The Bourne Identity, The Departure moves at Asher’s usual bullet-speed pace’ SFX ‘I had an absolute blast with this book … his work really does get better and better’ FalcataTimes blog ‘I simply couldn’t stop reading until I reached the end’ WorldsInInk blog --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description

Earth’s Zero Asset citizens no longer face extermination from orbit. Thanks to Alan Saul, the Committee’s network of control is a smoking ruin and its robotic enforcers lie dormant. But power abhors a vacuum and, scrambling from the wreckage, comes the ruthless Serene Galahad. She must act while the last vestiges of Committee infrastructure remain intact – and she has the means to ensure command is hers. On Mars, Var Delex fights for the survival of Antares Base, while the Argus Space Station hurls towards the red planet. And she knows whomever, or whatever, trashed Earth is still aboard. Var must save the base, while also dealing with the first signs of rebellion. And aboard Argus Station, Alan Saul’s mind has expanded into the local computer network. In the process, he uncovers the ghastly experiments of the Humanoid Unit Development, the possibility of eternal life, and a madman who may hold the keys to interstellar flight. But Earth’s agents are closer than Saul thinks, and the killing will soon begin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asher at his best! 9 Aug 2012
By Bascule
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I, like some others found a certain ambivalence towards the first "Owner" novel, "The Departure" Not down to Neal's writing, but the new universe we were in. I had become so comfortable with the polity that I initially couldn't settle into this new place and time. As the action increased along with the body count, I felt much happier. Now with the second book "Zero Point", it feels just right. Neal is on top form, the story flows along nicely, the body count is astronomical, the action good and gritty. The politics is once again going to offend certain people but Google "Agenda 21" and see if "Zero Point" doesn't seem a little less far fetched.

All in all a cracking read, possibly one of his best! If I could pre-order book 3 today I would.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neil on top form as always 10 Aug 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Neil writes another sf stormer in a new universe. This second book continues on straight after the ending of the first "Owner" novel which is rare in itself and as usual with Neils books its a roller coaster ride of action, politics, personal relationships and a very interesting take on technology. It reads easily and the action never relents. Alan Saul the central character is an interesting mix of cold logic and human emotions. As said before in another review if part three was avalable now id buy it.

One notable subject in this book which is the most though provoking of all is Neils take on the future of Earth. You can see the extrapolation from these times of austerity to the dystopian future Neil paints so well in this series and its frightening. Highly reccomended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing Science Fiction 10 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first owner novel was a massive change in scope for Asher. Being constrained to one solar system has not stifled his prowess however. The stakes get ever higher in this next book and if you like space warfare things ramp up very quickly. Looking forward to the next instalment and the direction it will take.

I enjoyed the high tension and suspense created by Neal Asher, the utter depravity of some characters, the imaginative plot, and the plausibility of the story. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another great book by Neal Asher.
If you love other Neal Asher books, you will love this one. It's like an early version of the cormac universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darkly Wielded Technological Thriller
Zero Point is the second book in Neal Asher's Owner Series, and continues with the strong - and somewhat unpalatable - themes that he developed in the first book, The Departure. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, just not as good as his Polity books
The characters in this series just seem 2 dimensional, not a patch on the splatterjay books I can only hope the next book in the series really ramps up the characterisation
