Omschrijving
Neal Asher has created a no-holds barred action adventure set in space, where lethal alien technology threatens two civilizations. But rather than uniting them, this threat is leading them to an epic confrontation – and perhaps war.
Neal Asher's books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly for the brain
The Soldier provides everything we demand from Asher: a beautifully complex universe where AIs, aliens and post-humans scheme and struggle – magnificently awesome. Then Asher turns it up to eleven
A richly imagined, exotic world, nonstop action, and unimaginable stakes - I couldn't put The Soldier down
Neal Asher's coruscating mix of epic space opera, weaponised Darwinism and high-stakes intrigue channels the primal flame of deep-core science fiction
This is space opera at a high peak of craftsmanship
Asher is a modern master of Sci-Fi
Neal Asher divides his time between Essex and Crete, mostly at a keyboard and mentally light-years away. His full-length novels are as follows. First is the Agent Cormac series: Gridlinked, The Line of Polity, Brass Man, Polity Agent and Line War. Next comes the Spatterjay series: The Skinner, The Voyage of the Sable Keech and Orbus. Also set in the same world of the Polity are these standalone novels: Hilldiggers, Prador Moon, Shadow of the Scorpion and The Technician. The Transformation trilogy is also based in the Polity: Dark Intelligence, War Factory and Infinity Engine. Set in a dystopian future are: The Departure, Zero Point and Jupiter War, while Cowl takes us across time. The Soldier, the first book in the Rise of the Jain series, returns to the Polity.
