![]() ![]() With the runcible out, Cormac must get there by ship, but he has incurred the wrath of a vicious psychopath called Arian Pelter, who now follows him across the galaxy with a terrifying psychotic killer android in tow. Now he must do without just as he’s sent to investigate the unique runcible disaster that’s wiped out the entire human colony on planet Samarkand in a thirty megaton explosion. He has to take the cold turkey cure and shake his addiction to having his brain on the net. Unfortunately Cormac is nearly burnt out, ‘ Gridlinked‘ to the AI net so long that his humanity has begun to drain away. ![]() ![]() Cormac is a legendary Earth Central Security agent, the James Bond of a wealthy future where ‘runcibles’ matter transmitters controlled by AIs allow interstellar travel in an eye blink throughout the settled worlds of the Polity. Now Asher crosses the Atlantic and breaks into hardcover with Gridlinked, a science fiction adventure in the classic, fast paced, action packed tradition of Harry Harrison and Poul Anderson, with a dash of cyberpunk and a splash of Ian Fleming added to spice the mix. I look forward to his next books enormously and to seeing Asher receive the success he is clearly destined for. This is a brilliant and audacious work, chock full of cutting edge ideas… ![]() Neal Asher has been publishing short fiction and books in the small press in Britain for several years, and made a successful move to paperback in 2001 with Gridlinked. ![]()
