About this listen
In outer space you can never feel sure that your adversary is altogether human.
The runcible buffers on Samarkand have been mysteriously sabotaged, killing many thousands and destroying a terraforming project. Agent Cormac must reach it by ship to begin an investigation. But Cormac has incurred the wrath of a vicious psychopath called Pelter, who is prepared to follow him across the galaxy with a terrifying android in tow.
Despite the sub-zero temperature of Samarkand, Cormac discovers signs of life: they are two 'dracomen', alien beasts contrived by an extra-galactic entity calling itself 'Dragon', which is a huge creature consisting of four conjoined spheres of flesh each a kilometre in diameter. Caught between the byzantine wiles of the Dragon and the lethal fury of Pelter, Cormac needs to skip very nimbly indeed to rescue the Samarkand project and protect his own life.
Gridlinked is the first sci-fi thriller in Neal Asher's compelling Agent Cormac series.

The book made me a huge Asher fan
Read well, with a great story with a huge backstory. Well worth paying for. Thoroughly recommended to hard sci-fi fans.

Excellent audio version.
A fabulous audio version of a terrific series. Does the printed version justice. listened to at 1.2 as my only quibble is a slightly slow narration style

Still as good as the 1st time around
audio re-read, still love the story as much as the 1st time around, looking foreward to re-reading the rest of the series', only downside is that the Reader can be a little quiet at times, otherwise good redition of the story :)

Pretty good Sci fi
Quite enjoyed the book, though sometimes it was hard to follow when a chapter contained more than a single narrative. Pretty good detail of the universe. Was fairly well read though a lot of it, with the English dialect made me feel like part of it was midsummer murders in space. The ending assumed a lot to of Reading between the lines and I felt it was better to read the alternative ending on the author's website. Didn't find myself investing a lot into the characters or the world in the same way I do with the Expanse series.

Ends with a mystery
So I have to listen to the next one now. This book is around 20 years old now so I must be entering the realms of classic science fiction.

Painful narration.
The story is great. General spoken word is fine. The narration of the dialogue story elements hurt my head. The variety of accents was good. But it was so unnatural in its pacing and tone.
I’m torn if I can put myself through the next volume.

The beginning of a great sci-fi series
I very much enjoyed this book. It has an interesting story, good narration and very much reminds me of the culture series. I will be listing to more of these.

Excellent!
Wonderful adventure and great ideas as usual. Asher's books are brimming with detail so much so that I like to listen to them several times to soak it all up. Great performance by Ric Jerrom too.

Fantastic
Read this book years ago and loved it then. Thoroughly enjoyed this reading. The narrator is top notch but the editing could have been a little better. Sometimes there was insufficient pause when moving from one group to another causing a little confusion.
The story introduces the main protagonists of this series well and introduces some interesting concepts.
