5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed., 22 Jun 2006
By G. Inch "fannyfromfalkirk" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are familiar with Neal Asher's 'Polity' series then 'Prador Moon' clears up a few loose ends. The Prador race were introduced to readers in 'The Skinner' and 'The Voyage of the Sable Keech' but this work paints in far more detail. A bit shorter than some of Asher's other works, but no less brilliant. In fact, you're swept along at such a pace that it's almost impossible to slow down. Fans of Asher's work will buy this book regardless of reviews it receives, but if you've never heard of the Prador, or even Neal Asher, fear not.....I'll spell it out for you. This is a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll never eat crab again, 4 Sep 2006
By R. Lock "bob_lock10" (Swansea UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First of all, I have read this book and therefore feel able to review it, not like a previous reviewer who has somehow been allowed to 'review' it yet admits he hasn't bought it and probably will not until the price drops... hmm...

Prador Moon takes you back in time (in the Polity series) to when mankind and AIs meet those crustacean creeps anyone who has read Asher before will know as Prador.

First contact quickly becomes first course as the Prador get to know humans closely, too closely.

A definite for Asher fans and even if you've never read an Asher SF novel before it can be read as a stand-alone-story and should surely whet your appetite for even more.

3.0 out of 5 stars was promising but woefully under developed., 10 Feb 2009
By David Britten - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prador Moon (Novel of the Polity) (Paperback)
The book is short like other people have commented but much worse than than this its under developed. The books reads like the first half of a book that didn't get finished. The climax feels like a middle section of a bigger story. I'm left puzzling how this got past an editor. The book should have been twice as long and far wider in scope. However, after reading the line war and Neal's handling of the war (honestly, putting in REALLY big numbers of ships doesn't make the battles more exciting) perhaps this was for the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Polity novel, nuff said
This is not "just another" Polity novel. This is another fine example of a Polity novel.

2.0 out of 5 stars A let down
Given my enjoyment of the Agent Cormac series and Cowl I was expecting great things. Not so, at around 200 pages it's short, the cormac series spoils the plot in PRADOR MOON. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be a lot better/longer
I like Neal Asher a lot, but lets be honest, this book is too short to have the dept of character needed for a really good book. It feels a bit like an extended shortstory. Read more
