Prador Moon

The book introduces the first meeting and opening conflict between the Polity and the violent Prador race. The beginning of the war was first referenced in the action-packed book Weaponized set in the Polity universe. Both books are full of gory violence and non-stop action. The reader learns that at this opening of the war the Polity ships are outmatched by the superior armored Prador vessels. The descriptions of the monstrous lobster-like Prador, their caste system and their appetites for both human flesh and the flesh of their own kind are detailed. While this book is a recommend, personally I enjoyed even more the first book Weaponized about a colony of humans running up against an almost unstoppable adaptive native raptor on their chosen new world. That being said, I look forward to reading the next Polity book Shadow of the Scorpion.
