You should be aware that Prador Moon is the earliest chronologically and Shadow of the Scorpion is a sort of Cormac prequel.
Sounds like I'd better get to those next!

If it's not too late
So where do I go now? I'm going to try the Agent Cormac series...
I've got Gridlinked, which as far as I can remember I enjoyed.
Having said that, I just skimmed through the plot as described on its Wikipedia page and have realised that I have no memory of the story whatsoever, so I shall have to add it to the re-read list. As it's the only Neal Asher book I have it might open the door to a number of purchases, which is always nice.
What I DO like about Neal Asher in general is the whole integration of AI into the world.. Like a sort of Iain M Banks for the modern age...
Tim Staffell, you're not, by any chance, around 70 ish with a background in music, are you? Would the name 'Smile' mean anything to you?
.
The Skinner is the first of three loosely linked Spatterjay books. Whilst they occur chronologically quite late in Asher's Polity universe they were written in parallel with the Cormac books which were much earlier. And The Skinner was actually the second book published, after Gridlinked.Not heard of him before. Just enjoying the Nights Dawn Trilogy by Hamilton and considering Skinner, it sounds like my kind of book
