    <![CDATA[From the Philip K. Dick Awardnominated author of Cowl, an adrenaline-powered new SF adventure: Brass Man. Neal Asher returns to his trademark Polity future setting in this sequel to Gridlinked, which <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://SFRevu.com">SFRevu.com</a> called brilliant and audacious work, chock-full of cutting-edge ideas. Ian Cormac, a legendary Earth Central Security agent, the James Bond of a wealthy future, is hunting an interstellar dragon, little knowing that, far away, his competition has resurrected a horrific killing machine named Mr. Crane to assist in a similar hunt, encompassing whole star systems. Mr. Crane, an insane, indestructible, artificial man now in a new metal body, seeks to escape a bloody past he can neither forget nor truly remember. And he is on a collision course with Ian Cormac.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a sequel to &quot;Gridlinked&quot;, and a good one, but since one of the main characters is a psychotic killer robot and another is a kind of superman secret agent, there are lots of people killed in particularly gory ways.  Several times, I wondered why so many gruesome deaths were needed.....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/514914">more...</a>]]></body>
