Synopsis

In outer space you can never feel sure that your adversary is altogether human. The runcible buffers on Samarkand have been mysteriously sabotaged, killing many thousands and destroying a terraforming project. Agent Cormac must reach it by ship to begin an investigation. But Cormac has incurred the wrath of a vicious psychopath called Pelter, who is prepared to follow him across the galaxy with a terrifying android in tow. Despite the sub-zero temperature of Samarkand, Cormac discovers signs of life: they are two 'dracomen', alien beasts contrived by an extra-galactic entity calling itself 'Dragon', which is a huge creature consisting of four conjoined spheres of flesh each a kilometre in diameter. Caught between the byzantine wiles of the Dragon and the lethal fury of Pelter, Cormac needs to skip very nimbly indeed to rescue the Samarkand project and protect his own life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Neal Asher divides his time between Essex and Crete, mostly at a keyboard and mentally light years away. He is the creator of the Polity universe and author of the Agent Cormac series, the Spatterjay trilogy, the Transformation trilogy, the Rise of the Jain trilogy, and the Time’s Shadow trilogy. Also set in the world of the Polity are these standalone novels: Prador Moon, Hilldiggers, Shadow of the Scorpion, The Technician, Jack Four, Weaponized and War Bodies. The Departure, Zero Point and Jupiter War are set in a dystopian future and connect to his World Walkers novel, while Cowl transports us across time.
