I love Neal Asher’s books, found him a long time ago in one of those “year’s best” collections of short stories from the library (though the ones with fantasy and horror were always the best, I think I read every single collection for every year and found so many good writers that way.)

They are full of action, good characters and worlds and ideas, sweeping and huge settings. Feels almost more like watching a movie to read them.

Who among us likes these action packed stories?

      Have you read Children of Time? It’s also Tchaikovsky, it doesn’t really get space-opera-y until the third book, Children of Memory but it’s soooooo good. Soooooo good.

        Yes but only when it came out, so I’m about ready to go back and then follow on with the other two :)

          Children of Ruin feels like it’s just going to be a rehash at the beginning. Stick with it, though. It takes a drastic departure into horror and asks some really interesting questions.
