“This is a dizzying and unusually thoughtful space opera . . . The result is a challenging, extremely satisfying read”

This is a dizzying and unusually thoughtful space opera . . . The result is a challenging, extremely satisfying read -- Publishers Weekly
Jam-packed with . . . invention, and just downright, in-your-face, balls-to-the-wall action -- SFFWorld
Neal Asher is a real SF professional, and you won’t be disappointed -- EarthianHivemind
Fast, furious, violent, slightly tongue-in-cheek (I think), and a whole lot of fun that makes 1984 seem like a children’s tea party . . . the start of another promising series from Asher. Go on, dive in, you won’t be disappointed -- British Fantasy Society on The Departure
The Orwellian intro had me utterly hooked right from the start. I simply couldn’t stop reading until I reached the end -- WorldsInInk on The Departure

Set in a dystopian future are: The Departure, Zero Point and Jupiter War, while Cowl takes us across time.
