Embers of War, Gareth L. Powell
This was initially irritating and disappointing because it felt like nothing more than a blend of Iain Banks and Alastair Reynolds pastiche. As it went on, it became at least a compelling story, but the characters suffered from being more defined by exposition than actions. Nod, the actually somewhat alien seeming alien was the best and yet most under-utilised character.
