About this ebook
Outlink station Miranda has been destroyed by a nanomycelium, and the very nature of this sabotage suggests that the alien bioconstruct Dragon - a creature as untrustworthy as it is gigantic - is somehow involved. Sent out on a titanic Polity dreadnought, the Occam Razor, agent Cormac must investigate the disaster. Meanwhile, on the remote planet Masada, the long-term rebellion can never rise above-ground, as the slave population is subjugated by orbital laser arrays controlled by the Theocracy in their cylinder worlds, and by the fact that they cannot safely leave their labour compounds. For the wilderness of Masada lacks breathable air ... and out there roam monstrous predators called hooders and siluroynes, not to mention the weird and terrible gabbleducks.

This one is a tough one to rate. I liked Gridlinked and I liked the *story* in this book. However, the copy editing in this book was atrocious. There was missing punctuation, odd word spacing, wording that could have been cleaned up and still kept Mr. Asher's "voice". The only word I could use to describe the mess would be "jarring". I intend to read the rest of the series, as I do enjoy Ian Cormac, John Stanton, Jarvellis, Gant and Thorn as characters. My hope is that Mr. Asher's publisher sacked the copy editor that failed in the one job they had to perform.

Like everything else Asher writes, this book is absolutely amazing.
