Interesting premise, extremely flawed execution
By W. Lee
I'm a fan of SF which deals with concepts taken to the edge. This book is definitely in that region, covering a world government combining all the worst of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin. The government is actually implementing a genocide of billions.
And yet, I wanted to throw the book across the room many times. I didn't since that would have ruined the Kindle. But the desire was there.
The book had the sophistication of what a high school english course assignment would produce. If the writer was drunk. Let me count the ways.
First, a recent issue of Analog discussed "information dump", where an author shows off his research by spewing pages of background information. Asher did this so much that the dump exceeded the content, especially in the first quarter of the book. He had the option of trying to hide at least some of this dump as something passed to the main character by an AI. But he didn't. Just dreadful.
The point of view constantly switches from 3rd person, to the thoughts of one or another of the characters, sometimes sentence by sentence. We get no warning or transition. It's hard to follow.
He will spend pages on the grisly details of a laser attack from space against an Earth spaceport, seen from monitors on the asteroid. We see things that you might have missed even if you were present at the spaceport. Optics are really good in the future, apparently. In contrast, important things, such as the evolution of the main character over several months, we get in a single paragraph.
But most frustrating for me was the author's vague handling of gravity. On Mars, the characters do take the low pressure into account most of the time. But the gravity, only a bit over 1/3 of Earth, never causes a problem. On an asteroid, the main character happily jogs across the surface. At times, there is a mention of using special boots in the tunnels. Then, on the same page, everyone happily acts like they're on terra-firma. When the asteroid's fusion engine lights up, the result as if the asteroid suddenly picked up super gravity. Characters floating in space, in all directions around the station, entirely disconnected from it, suddenly fall and splat. I could go on. The author's gravity lacks gravity.
And speaking of the asteroid, I never did get a good understanding of how the rotating section worked. It could stop and start at will, and transport ships had no problems with docking.
The main character, super smart, gets super dumb when it suits the narrative. The Enemy, also super smart, gets super dumb when the main character needs to be rescued from a predicament. Everyone is comic book quality. Sigh.
The violence is graphic and excessive. It adds nothing to the story.
Lastly, I found the use of "whilst" instead of "while" throughout the book very jarring. I checked it online. Even in the UK, use of that word is archaic and/or snobbish. The editors should have wiped this out.
People look for different things in books. For me, this book was poorly written, poorly scienced, and poorly characterized. The author must have his attention elsewhere whilst writing it.

Bourne Identity Space Opera
By cybermage.se
Welcome to a future where a lot of things have gone wrong. Democracy is a thing of the past. The bureaucracies of the world have taken over. The Commission sounds suspiciously close to the European Commission which I guess is not something Neal Asher is fond of. The environment is unpleasant and overpopulation needs a final solution. At least that's what the people in power seem to be planning. Rebellion is hard since the Commission controls orbital laser weapons that can destroy any riot in seconds. They also dispatch robots troops straight out of the war of the worlds to pick up any ringleaders for torture and brainwashing.
It is a chilling world where people are classified after their usefulness to society. Zero-assets are more or less dumped to fetch for themselves. Usefulness is of course assigned by The Commission.
This is the world where this electrifying story takes place. Saul is a man with extraordinary skills and intellect but who can't remember what the things you put on your feet and walk in are. He wakes up in a box on the verge of incineration but escape bent on revenge. We get to follow his trail through what is left of Europe and Russia as he learns the world again. In a way this reminded me of a story by A. E. Van Vogt named Tyranpolis (aka Future Glitter from 1973) where the hero instead has a scientific breakthrough in an all-seeing kind of technology while Saul here goes for the AI interfaced brain that Neal seems so fond of (See Gridlinked).
The Yin of the story is a woman called Var who probably is Saul's lost sister. She struggles at the abandoned colony on Mars where the political officer is trying to kill off all none essential people to make the resources last longer. Her story and Paul's take turns in a way that fits well with the story and keep the reader interested.
There is a lot of good action down on earth and up at an orbital fortress but you never feel that the ending is in any doubt which is a bit sad in an otherwise excellent story. I can live with that and still enjoy the story but I have a high tolerance for characters like that.
The Departure is a good first novel in the Owner trilogy and the significance of that name for the series intrigues me. I want to know what happens next. I don't think The Departure is for everyone but it is a good standard fare science fiction with a bit of social critique and a lot of action.
The next book in the series Zero Point will be out next year probably around the same time as this one.

A great start to a promising new series
By OZARKFLIER
After seeing the negative comments of some reviewers, I have to wonder whether we read the same book. The observations made by two of them led me to believe the wheels would fall off the story at 100 pages. But it didn't; if anything, the pace picked up and pushed through all the way to the end. The end leaves you dangling--really a conclusion rather than an end of story--but this was expected since I understood the book to be an introduction to an ongoing new series. I also don't agree with the reference to shallow or two-dimensional characters. Though the story is told in a much different contextual background, the development of the major protagonist, Alan Saul, very much reminded me of the introduction to Ian Cormac in "Gridlinked." I will admit that the parallel story about Var on Mars did not mesh well with the story-in-chief, but it didn't seriously detract from it either.
I think some of the Asher fans were disappointed because they were expecting "The Departure" to be another Polity-like novel with a fresh cast of characters. Well, it wasn't that at all: Asher completely broke the mold this time to create a darkly dystopian future more reminiscent of the works of Philip K. Dick and George Orwell. I highly recommend it to all fans of hard SF and look forward to the release of the next installment in the series.
