Hi,

Just finished Prador Moon and though it is shorter than the other novels, it is very good. Non stop action here with memorable new characters Prador, human, golem and AI. We also get to see Occam's Razor and Cpt. Tomalan taking on Prador dreadnoughts that easily have overwhelmed Polity's first line of defence.
I think this one shows Mr. Asher at top form and I await now eagerly Polity Agent.
Very highly recommended.

Thanks for that! It seems to be hitting the spot with many and thus far Night Shade Books are pleased with the sales.

Forgot to mention: my review's up: HERE. (http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/302.html)

It's a good 'un. :)

Nice one, Hobbit -- you've got the essence of it.

Good news on the selling front. Via Jeremy Lassen’s blog I’ve learnt that Prador Moon is on the SFF best seller list at Borderlands Books and that this is not the first time it had been there.

That's good news, Neal.

Are there any developments on a UK / Europe release? I got a Night Shade copy pretty easily, but some might find it easier to get in Europe with a UK one.

No developments on a UK release, though the book is obtainable through amazon.com and (I think) at Forbidden Planet bookshop. My British publisher asked me to retain the British rights so the ting could be included in a collection at some point.

Here's the front cover of the Macmillan British version of Prador Moon.

aha! So it does have a UK release forthcoming! Excellent (although I did see the US paperback in my local Waterystones recently, but the cash was not available....)

Jon, since the picture here is from a dust jacket, that means the book is going to be produced as a hard back, which also probably means it'll be more expensive than the Night Shade version - until the paperback comes out a year later.
