My copy of Neal Asher's Line War should be in my mailbox any day now. It's the last Ian Cormac novel, and like most of the rest of the series I've had to have it imported from the UK because Tor only wants to release books 1 and 3 in the US for some reason (this may not be true anymore, actually, I haven't checked recently, but the last novel is definitely not released in the US). Anyway, I've got a hardon the size of Florida in expectation for this, I've been gay for the series since Gridlinked and there was some pretty serious poo poo that went down at the end of book 4.

I'm in the same boat as you with importing Asher's books. There's a prequel book out in the Cormac series, 'Shadow of the Scorpion' if you need more after you get done with 'Line War'.

I'm taking a break from Generic Fantasy #897 I am reading, and as a whim picked up The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. So far it's playing out like the pilot of 'Fringe', except with vampires. Will have to read more before I make a judgement, but the one thing I do like about the book is that is a nicely designed object. Underneath the dustjacket is a blood red cover with a fuzzy picture of some large space like Grand Central station (which it might be, being set in NYC). The physical book is a step above the average mass publication, which is nice.
