Bob has found a review of Orbus he didn’t get round to posting until now, which is pretty understandable considering the shit time he’s been having. I have to add, Bob, in reply to that ‘horrible slurry of blood, flesh and bones’ … ahem, that’s what you do get (or, alternatively, get your tongue out of your cheek!)…
Browsing Neal Asher’s blog I noticed a review he’d posted of his novel Orbus and remembered I had also done a review when it was first published but never posted it on my blog, so here it is.
Ok, get the following ingredients: someone who’s been an engineer, a barman, a skip lorry driver, a coalman, a boat window manufacturer, a contract grass cutter and a builder, then mix them all together and you should have… Neal Asher, science fiction novelist.
I gave it a try and all I ended up with was this horrible slurry of blood, flesh and bones, I must be doing it wrong…
