The Engineer Reconditioned

[Rane Longfox]

I've been after this book for ages, and finally got my hands on it at christmas. ONly about half way through, because Abercrombie's The Heroes turned up, and I want to get it read before his signing in Manchester tonight, but anyway.

I love this story so far! It gives some amazing back-story to the Jain, and the Cable Hogue. Once I've got back to it in a few days no doubt I will have more praises to sing! Neal's introduction to the edition I have is also very interesting

Interesting - I have a copy of this book but haven't got around to reading it yet and also hadn't realised that it is also tied into the Polity series of books. I have just read the Gabble and Other Stories which would appear to be similar, also giving some fascinating background to the Polity books, so I guess I shall have to move this one up some on my reading list!

And most of those stories were produced before any of the Cormac or Spatterjay books. You'll also find some of the 'Owner' stories -- the character I'm basing my next lot of books on.

I've just found out that The Engineer ReConditioned is up as an audio book on Audible.

Bit worrying if they don't even tell you, Neal!

 

[Neal Asher]

Not so much worrying as annoying. Didn't they think I would promote it?

 

[Vertigo]

Well, yes, and it'd be nice for you to know what they doing with all your hard work!!!
