New Neal Asher book, ayyy
terrible covers, I know, but it's the relevant book

I've eventually read though all of this author's 'Polity' stuff
I really, really, like him. Not to be snobbish: But I'll be the first to acknowledge that he's not for everyone
You'll have to appreciate what he does with his made up flora/fauna, technology and politics. That's something only a special brand of autistic people will be fully able to do. Spending 10 pages to describe alien crab sex, lmao

Just feel like this author is criminally underappreciated by people who are into the dry serious (often military) scifi stuff
His action scenes feel like REAL action, they are exiting. There's also very well executed body-horror, if you are into that.

Only things that stood as not good to me. Was something I couldn't help but view as out-dated political commentary, in his older books.
Bit too much repetition of concepts the reader already have been introduced to. As a symptom of the books not being a whole series, like you can jump in at different spots, right?
That problem would be lessened, if I read the books over a longer span of time, or my memory was worse.
