Neal Asher Interview

By Douglas Cobb on January 6, 2010


It’s not every day that one gets a chance to chat with one of the top names in SF, so I jumped at the opportunity to interview Mr. Neal Asher! I have most recently reviewed his novel Prador Moon, the first book in The Polity series, and I’ve reviewed Brass Man and Shadow of the Scorpion for another site. Both are novels of the Polity featuring agent Ian Cormac, who is a killing machine.
