Publisher Description
The Voyage of the Sable Keech returns to Neal Asher's water-bound world of Spatterjay, teeming with bizarre characters and gruesome monsters.
Taylor Bloc is a walking dead man, determined to live again. He also wants adulation, power and control – and will do anything to get them. Of Bloc’s kind, Sable Keech alone has achieved resurrection. So Bloc will retrace Keech’s journey across Spatterjay’s wild seas, with his crew of killers, to grasp his secret.
Erlin wanted solitude to understand her eternal life, until an attack prompts her own strange journey. And Janer returns, with forbidden weaponry. He must stop an agent controlled by a hive mind with a death fixation. But a wider crisis will overshadow personal missions. In the deeps, an alien Prador is stirring, horribly transformed by Spatterjay’s immortality virus. And an enemy ship would destroy the planet to keep this secret.
Continue the science fiction adventure series with Orbus, or start at the beginning with The Skinner.
Customer Reviews
Not very good
I love Neal Asher's books, in part because most of them are so excellent in so many ways. But Sable Keech is slow, boring, and lacking the intricacies of interconnecting plot lines that make most of his other novels so wonderful. I would say, don't bother reading Sable Keech at all, except that it will add to the appreciation of the followup, Orbus. However, as a book in its own right, Sable Keech is just not worth the time.
