About the Author

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 Human is the third book in the Rise of the Jain series, following The Soldier and The Warship, and is set in the Polity universe.

Reviews

Neal Asher’s books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly for the brain
*John Scalzi*

In this riveting sequel to The Soldier, Asher ramps up the pyrotechnics in the thunderous first salvoes of war . . . This is Asher at the top of his game
*Publishers Weekly starred review on The Warship*

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
*Peter F. Hamilton on The Soldier*

A richly imagined, exotic world, nonstop action, and unimaginable stakes - I couldn't put The Soldier down
*Yoon Ha Lee on The Soldier*

Neal Asher's coruscating mix of epic space opera, weaponised Darwinism and high-stakes intrigue channels the primal flame of deep-core science fiction
*Paul McAuley on The Soldier*

With mind-blowing complexity, characters, and combat, Asher’s work continues to combine the best of advanced cybertech and military SF
*Publishers Weekly on The Soldier*

Space operatics and Jaco­bean revenge-melodramatics
*Locus Magazine on The Soldier*

Just when you thought the Polity couldn't get more interesting Neal Asher manages to weave the most awe-inspiring elements of his universe together into an amazing narrative . . . Like a true master Asher hits this one out of the galactic plane . . . a truly mind-blowing start to a new trilogy
