Neal Asher
Science Fiction
This books contains time travel. It should also be placed on the book on a sticker as a warning. Time travel if not handled with care can lead to extremely confusing plots and this book certainly has this issue. Cowl begins strongly with some interesting characters, but then become less intelligible as the book begins to lose control. There are ideas and concepts here there that I was not able to follow and the ending seemed to leave a large number of questions unanswered. There were also minor characters in the book whose point of view we had the story told from for no particularly good reason. These characters were added (I suspect) to flesh out this novel from a novella.
