I've read almost everything Neal Asher has in print, and I think that this may be his best yet. That may in part be due to its tying in aspects of many of the previous books, but I think that it stands on its own. The title refers to a specific creature living on Masada, a world which featured heavily in one of Asher's previous Polity books. However, the novel revolves around several different characters whose lives intersect at a flashpoint for the planet and for human civilization. I loved the plot twists and slow progression towards a climax entwining the multiple threads, which is characteristic of an Asher novel, but in particular, The Technician involved more character development and growth than in many of his other novels. I suppose that Hilldiggers and The Cowl also involved a significant character growth, but The Technician combines this with the familar feel of the Polity novels. The AIs also seem different than in his previous books - far more removed from human behaviour and less like silicon humans, and more like minds which really think differently than we do. The AIs, and the whole novel, reminded me more of Iain Banks' Culture novels than some of his Asher's earlier novels. All in all, a wonderful read and further evidence that Asher is becoming one of the top writers in SF.
