Pity you didn't like Hilldiggers - perhaps try one of his Polity-based novellas instead (Prador Moon or Shadow of the Scorpion). I loved Richard Morgan's Kovacs books, exciting and ground-breaking stuff. I enjoyed Market Forces too, but Black Man dragged and I didn't like his fantasy book The Steel Remains at all I'm afraid. <BR>I agree about Pushing Ice - a personal favourite of mine!

Maybe it's just not my thing because I felt the scope lacking and the whole story didn't hold together as well as I'd liked. I haven't read anything else by Asher so maybe there are better books by him. If you like fast paced thriller SF, I recommend Richard Morgan. Altered Carbon and Fallen Angels are two great thrillers that will cause you to skip sleep, likely. I'm in the middle of Market Forces now, which has a bit of a slow start. Will see how it turns out! Also, if you haven't read it yet, get Pushing Ice by Reynolds. A very satisfying read IMO! I have to disagree on your review, Hilldiggers was a disappointing read.
