It's a pretty easy bet that whenever I see that there's a new Neal Asher book, I'm going to be all over it like Jain tech and the Spatterjay virus with a side-dose of an ancient galactic war machine.Īnd you know what? My FANBOY REACTIONS ARE UNKILLABLE. Hamilton, author of Salvation and others, on Asher's The Soldier Then Asher turns it up to eleven' Peter F. ‘Neal Asher’s books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly for the brain’ John Scalzi, author of the Old Man’s War series 'Magnificently awesome. And a vengeful clone may be the worst danger of all. All the monsters now dwell on the planet below, but they aren’t as contained as they seem. The Station was once a zoo, containing monsters from across known space. She thinks the rewards are worth the risks, but all that is about to change. Suzeal trades human slaves out of the Stratogaster Space Station, re-engineering them to serve the prador. But the prador are always looking for new weapons – and their experimentation program might give them the edge they seek. They were infected by the virus during the last humans-versus-prador war, now lapsed into an uneasy truce.

And his children, the King’s Guard, have undergone similar changes. The prador’s king has been mutated by the Spatterjay virus into a creature even more monstrous than the prador themselves.

And no normal citizen of humanity’s Polity worlds would have this information. No clone should possess the knowledge that’s been loaded into his mind. But there is something different about Jack. His purchasers are the alien prador and they only want him for their experimentation program. Jack Four–one of twenty human clones–has been created to be sold. It's a thrilling, fast-paced standalone novel, perfect for fans of Alastair Reynolds and Stephen Baxter. This high-octane adventure is set in the same world as Neal Asher's acclaimed Polity universe.
