Jack Four by Neal Asher- This outing is very similar to all of Neal Asher's Polity adventures and also very different. The main character, Jack Four, is from a recent batch of clones, who lack even the basic understanding of their existence, except, of course, Jack Four. For some unknown reason he can think and learn even though he remembers nothing about himself. He gets flashes of understanding, especially under stress, and gradually learns to cope with the terrible situation he is in. On board an ancient Space station in the forbidding Graveyard between Polity and the Prador empire, his life is at constant risk from different factions.
The engine that runs this story is the patient with amnesia from numerous crime novels, who can't remember his past or who he can trust. Throw in boosted mercenaries, crab-like Prador soldiers, along with all kinds of deadly obstacles and you have a fast-paced run for your life story that never slows down.
Definitely something different from Asher.
