An extraordinary collection from a master of science fiction. Now reissued with a fresh cover look. Much of Neal Asher's fiction is set in the galactic civilization he calls the Polity, an alliance of human-populated worlds. In The Gabble, a collection of thirteen marvellously inventive and action-packed short stories, Asher is in top form. You can expect conflicted humans, fiendishly clever plot twists, extraordinary technologies, and so much more. The discerning reader can also savour tales of alien poisons, the walking dead, the Sea of Death, and the putrefactor symbiont. No one does weird, wonderful and downright gruesome aliens better than Neal Asher, so prepare to visit his favourites. Sample the lifestyles of creatures such as the gabbleduck and the hooder, as Asher takes you on a wild ride into his vividly-imagined futures. From the architect of the Polity universe, The Gabble reveals a universe of unbridled imagination, and each one is a delight in itself. | The Gabble by Neal Asher, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
