About this listen

The Voyage of the Sable Keech returns to Neal Asher's water-bound world of Spatterjay, teeming with bizarre characters and gruesome monsters.

Taylor Bloc is a walking dead man, determined to live again. He also wants adulation, power and control – and will do anything to get them. Of Bloc’s kind, Sable Keech alone has achieved resurrection. So Bloc will retrace Keech’s journey across Spatterjay’s wild seas, with his crew of killers, to grasp his secret.

Erlin wanted solitude to understand her eternal life, until an attack prompts her own strange journey. And Janer returns, with forbidden weaponry. He must stop an agent controlled by a hive mind with a death fixation. But a wider crisis will overshadow personal missions. In the deeps, an alien Prador is stirring, horribly transformed by Spatterjay’s immortality virus. And an enemy ship would destroy the planet to keep this secret.

Critic Reviews

Close to the violence of splatterpunk, and ideas, jokes and puns splatter his pages.
As always, Asher is unparalleled at creating this unique and dangerous environment . . . as exhilarating as his previous books.

I started listening to this immediately after finishing The Skinner and it picks up directly from where The Skinner ends. if you enjoyed The Skinner, you will definitely enjoy this. I really enjoyed the vocal performance. It definitely elevates the work

A very direct sequel

William Gaminara does a fantastic job of reading Neal Asher's 'Spatterjay' novels - 5+ stars for him. However, a really basic production error seriously detracts from the listening experience. Quite simply, there are no pauses between 'scenes' or changes in the narrative perspective. As a result, unless you're really concentrating hard, it's easy to lose the flow of who is speaking or whose aspect of the story is being developed at any given moment. Frustrating because it would be SO simple to fix - a couple of seconds pause between each section and everything would be fine. I can't imagine this will be addressed which is a real shame - seriously detracts from the enjoyment of the reading to the point where I won't bother with book 3.

Great performance spoiled by production error.
