    Spatterjay: the most dangerous planet in the galaxy, a world where everything has teeth and is very hungry. Spatterjay can rip you to shreds in more ways than have been counted, or transform you into something no longer quite human, but nearly immortal. Sable Keech isn't interested in immortality. He's been dead 700 years. But that hasn't stopped his relentless pursuit of legendary Prador Wars renegade 'Spatter' Jay Hoop, a.k.a. the Kinner. Hoop is still around, but his body and his head maintain separate residences. Erlin Tazer is interested in immortality, because she acquired it on a previous visit. Now she has returned to figure out what to do with it. As the visitors' paths converge with one of the most brutal of the very alien Prador, who is intent on exterminating witnesses to its wartime atrocities, Spatterjay will have some nasty surprises for everyone -- From back cover

    “A powerhouse cocktail of lurid violence, evocative world-building and typically grotesque monsters.”—SFX The fast-paced adventures on the remote planet Spatterjay, a dangerous waterworld filled with lethal biology, continue in the sequel to The Skinner. Sable Keech, a reification previously deceased for more than seven hundred years, is now a walking dead man, resurrected under mysterious circumstances that may have a lot to do with the virus native to the exotic but deadly remote ocean world Spatterjay. As word of his adventures (The Skinner) continue to spread, the planet has become a pilgrimage site for other reifs hoping to meet similar fates. The allure of the virus—which promises something close to immortality, even if it comes at terrible biological cost—has brought other beings to the off-Polity world as well. An ancient hive mind may be after the poison “sprine” crucial to the virus’s immortality. Deep in the ocean, a vicious alien prador has awakened from a long, virus-induced coma. And Sniper, an AI assigned as the planet’s warden, finally receives his new drone shell. It's better than his old one, with powerful engines, more lethal weapons, and thicker armour. He's going to need them.
