Well worth a second look!

Went back to Michael Cobley's "Seeds of earth". Bloody glad I did. What a great new universe. I can see there being a lot of fun there. The pratfall-tastic journey of Gow Chii got a bit wearing, but didn't detract from what was a very interesting tale. Really can't wait for the next one. This a series with great scope and I'm sure after reading this one, that Michael Cobley is more than up to the task.

After having read 60 or so pages, I had a feeling that Mr Cobley was no stranger to the works of Neal Asher, I was right, in the acknowledgements is a mention of the mighty Asher. It's no overt thing, just a comfortable feeling of slight familiarity.

God I talk shite somedays. It was great and parts reminded me of "He who Must Write Faster" Neal Asher, which is a very very good thing.
