Line War (Ian Cormac, Book 5)
Neal Asher
The Polity is under
attack from a 'melded' AI entity with control of the lethal Jain
technology, yet the attack seems to have no coherence. When one of
Erebus's wormships kills millions on the world of Klurhammon, a
high-tech agricultural world of no real tactical significance, agent Ian
Cormac is sent to investigate, though he is secretly struggling to
control a new ability no human being should possess . . . and beginning
to question the motives of his AI masters.
Further attacks and
seemingly indiscriminate slaughter ensue, but only serve to bring some
of the most dangerous individuals in the Polity into the war. Mr Crane,
the indefatigable brass killing machine sets out for vengeance, while
Orlandine, a vastly-augmented haiman who herself controls Jain
technology, seeks a weapon of appalling power and finds allies from an
ancient war.
Meanwhile Mika, scientist and Dragon expert, is
again kidnapped by that unfathomable alien entity and dragged into the
heart of things: to wake the makers of Jain technology from their
five-million-year slumber.
But Erebus's attacks are not so indiscriminate, after all, and could very well herald the end of the Polity itself . .
