Book-A-Day #29 (8/15): Prador Moon by Neal Asher
I read this for SFBC, so I'll be brief: it's a big zippy space opera in a small package, in which Asher's Polity encounters intelligent aliens for the first time: gigantic warlike crabs that discover that they love the taste of human flesh. The science is not, as you might guess, as hard as it might be. (And that's perfectly fine with me.)
