About this listen

The Voyage of the Sable Keech is the second book in Neal Asher's Spatterjay series, following on from The Skinner.

Sable Keech is a walking dead man. Was he resurrected because he was infected by the Spatterjay virus, or it took place late in a tank of seawater? Taylor Bloc wants to know the truth. He also wants more – adulation, power, control – and will go to any lengths to achieve them.

An ancient hive mind has sent an agent to this uncertain world. Does it merely want to obtain the poison 'sprine' that is crucial to immortality? Erlin, still faced with the ennui of immortality, is interrupted by an angry whelkus titanicus, and begins a strange journey.

Deep in the ocean the Spatterjay virus has wrought a terrible change that will affect them all. Something long-dormant is breaking free. And Sniper, its Warden, finally receives his new drone shell. It's better than his old one: powerful engines, more lethal weapons, thicker armour. He's going to need them.

Great performance spoiled by production error.

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.

A very direct sequel

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
