About this listen

No one can outrun the past in Brass Man, is the third novel in Neal Asher's popular Agent Cormac series.

Imperfectly resurrected by Jain technology, Mr Crane is back from the dead. The brass killing machine is haunted by a violent past he can’t fully forget or truly remember. He seeks to heal his shattered mind as his new master, an old biophysicist enemy of Agent Cormac, sets him on an improbable mission: to hunt a dragon on the frontier world of Cull.

On Cull, each day is a struggle for survival. Ferocious insectile monsters roam the volatile planet. And the low-tech human settlers are desperate to reach their ancestors’ starship – orbiting tantalisingly out of reach. An entity calling itself Dragon assists them, but what are its real motives, and why is the biophysicist really here? Cormac must find the answers, and face multiple threats to the Polity.

Brass Man is followed by Polity Agent, the fourth book in the Agent Cormac series.

Imaginative, energetic and insane.
Trademark Asher . . . the links it establishes leave one wanting much, much more.
Compelling reading . . . Asher has become a resounding and distinctive voice in British SF.

Yet another fine continuation of the Cormac series
With another great narration from Rik Jerome,
Can someone sign him up for a recast of the Entire Foundation Saga & Robot Series?

I started listening to the agent cormac series last in my library of Neal Asher and it was a good idea as it is giving more depth to the story by knowing the peripheral histories, great books highly recommended
