Publisher's Summary
Neal Asher takes on first contact, Polity style. This original novel recounts the first contact between the aggressive Prador aliens, and the Polity Collective as it is forced to retool its society to a war footing. The overwhelming brute force of the Prador dreadnaughts causes several worlds and space stations to be overrun.
Prador Moon follows the initial Polity defeats, to the first draws, and culminates in what might be the first Polity victory, told from the point of view of two unlikely heroes.

good, but for a very distracting pronunciation
the narrator could not pronounce "Occam's Razor," to save his life. It is bewildering that no one on the production staff didn't stop him and say "hey, fyi, you're saying that 100% wrong!"

Not bad, listenable
I have heard worse narrators, but he detracts from the story. Could definitely used some (pronunciation) coaching. It is a reading vs. a performance.

Easing into Asher on Audible
There will never be another Iain M. Banks. That said, one book into Asher's opus and his Polity is satisfying my hunger pangs for Banks' Culture. Throw in some voracious aliens with interesting cultural backstory, plausible characters (including AI), and teleportation technology, and I'm engaged enough to head into the next book in the chronology (by fictional timeline, not date of writing): Shadow of the Scorpion
So far, Asher is showing promise to fit into my Banks, Reynolds and Vinge space opera cabinet nicely.
I did get a little lost in the sections describing the operation of the teleporters (known as "runcibles") via human/tech interfaces called "augs" but this may be more of a feature of audio - which I almost never rewind in contrast to a paragraph or two I might re-read - rather than any failings in Asher's concept or style.
The narrator neither lulled me to sleep (a real risk with audio books) nor irritated me. That's a thin needle to thread and merits recognition.
You've got my attention, Asher. Let's see where this goes...
