Set in a lethal waterworld where sudden death is a way of life, The Skinner is the first novel in the far-future Spatterjay series by Neal Asher.

The savage ocean planet of Spatterjay draws visitors with very different agendas. Erlin is immortal and seeks a reason to keep living. Janer hosts a hive mind, which paid him to find this planet. And Keech is an agent of Earth who’s been dead for seven hundred years – but still hunts a notorious criminal.

On Spatterjay’s vast waterscapes, only the Old Captains risk the native life forms and their voracious appetites. However, they are now barely human. And somewhere out there Keech’s target – the Skinner – runs wild. Keech pursues the Skinner for atrocities committed in a centuries-past war, fought with the alien Prador. But one of these Prador is fast approaching Spatterjay to exterminate witnesses to his own war crimes. And he won’t spare its visitors.

Continue the science fiction adventure with The Voyage of Sable Keech and Orbus.

Reseñas de la Crítica

His easy style and intriguing plot make for a great story that treats the reader as an adult (The Times)
Crammed full of inventive technology, organic and artificial intelligence, horrible monsters, and a thick mesh of story lines (SFX)
An exhilarating tour through one of the most ingeniously, elaborately deadly worlds since Harry Harrison invented Death World (Locus)
Hurtles along at a high-octane clip . . . In sum: a blast (Kirkus)

I only wish that Neal Asher's Gridlinked books (written in the same universe but with different characters, although there is some overlap...) were also in audio.

For the uninitiated - Lots of AIs. Space travel through warping. Seriously funny & snarky writing. LOVE the characters. Spatterjay trilogy has very inventive life forms on the planet that are neat and drive the plot along. Highly recommended.

Loved this book - great Neal Asher story

Neal Asher at his best nitrates with gusto. Will be listening to the next two books.

Deathworld on Sea

Take hard science fiction, high tech robotics, artificial intelligence, alien invaders, immortality, super human abilities, the living dead, heinous war crimes, pirates, whaling vessels, salty sailors, a vast array of hostile sea life that wants to eat you, huge aquatic monsters (that want to eat you), horrible human monsters (that want to do much worse than eat you) and stick it all into a high seas murder mystery and that pretty much sums up The Skinner. How Neal Asher managed to combine all those disparate elements into a rollicking good time I'll never know, but he did it and this is only the first book of the Spatterjay trilogy. Great story, great adventure and William Gaminara's narration is superb. It's well worth the credit.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

Great book: excellent story, world building, and presentation. I would recommend this to anyone that likes sci fi, or shadowrun style games.

My only complaint is with the editing. The story jumps perspective between characters inside chapters, but there are no pauses or breaks in narration to indicate any shift. It makes the some places in the narrative very confusing. However if you can get past that, the story is worth it!

Very good.

Spatterjay is mostly a water world. Almost every creature in the sea is deadly. The native humans, called hoopers, are almost immortal. They become immortal after one of the many leeches that inhabit the world bites them. The leeches fall from trees, swim in the ocean and can be as small as a bat or as large as a whale.

One of the main characters is a Zombie, he has been dead for 700 years. The book has leeches, sentient AI's, Supermen, a hive mind, a living head, a creature that acts as a sail for ships, rhinoworms, humans who are called blanks because they are mindless slaves to lobster like aliens called Pradors, a woman who lives in another woman's body, etc etc.

The action is constant and Asher's imagination is fantastic. There is lots and lots of gore. At the beginning of the book I was extremely excited and really thought I had found a new fantastic author. Toward the end I was getting worn out and was ready for the book to finish. I will be reading more of Asher's books, I just hope he shortens them a little.

As far as the production and the narrator, I was very disappointed. NA changes from one scene to another and then back again very quickly and often the scenes he is switching to have similar action going on, so I often got confused on what characters I was following. The narrator, who is following how the book is written, uses British accents, which combined with the changing scenes made it hard to follow. The zombie is actual called a reif, but they had to say reif about fifty times before I understood what he was saying.

If you like Card's book "Treason" or Harry Harrison's "West of Eden" or Koontz "Frankenstein" or "Moby Dick" you should like this book.
