The action packed conclusion to Neal Asher's Transformation series, a no-holds-barred space opera set in Asher's popular Polity universe.
A man battles for his life, two AIs vie for supremacy and a civilisation hangs in the balance ...
Several forces now pursue rogue artificial intelligence Penny Royal, hungry for revenge or redemption. And the Brockle is the most dangerous of all. This criminal swarm-robot AI has escaped its confinement and is upgrading itself, becoming ever more powerful in anticipation of a deadly showdown.
Events also escalate aboard the damaged war factory station where Penny Royal was constructed. Here Thorvald Spear, alien prador, and an assassin drone struggle to stay alive, battling insane AIs and technology gone wild. Then the Weaver arrives – last of the Atheter, resurrected from a race that suicided two million years ago. But what could it contribute to Penny Royal's tortuous plans?
And beyond the war factory a black hole conceals a tantalising secret which could destroy the Polity. As AIs, humans and prador clash at its boundary, will anything survive their explosive final confrontation?
''Skilfully combines graphic action and sensitive characterization.'
The Guardian
'Beautifully paced ... This is space opera at a high peak of craftsmanship'
Publishers Weekly
