Science Fiction
One man will transcend death to seek vengeance. One woman
will transform herself to gain power. And no one will emerge
unscathed... Thorvald Spear wakes in a hospital to find he's been brought
back from the dead. What's more, he died in a human vs.
alien war that ended a century ago. Spear had been trapped
on a world surrounded by hostile Prador forces, but Penny
Royal, the AI inside the rescue ship sent to provide backup,
turned rogue, annihilating friendly forces in a frenzy of
destruction and killing Spear. One hundred years later the
AI is still on the loose, and Spear vows for revenge at any
cost. Isobel Satomi ran a successful crime syndicate, but after
competitors attacked she needed power and protection.
Negotiating with Penny Royal, she got more than she
bargained for: Turning part-AI herself gave Isobel
frightening power, but the upgrades hid a horrifying secret,
and the dark AI triggered a transformation that has been
turning her into something far from human… Spear hires Isobel to track Penny Royal across worlds to its
last known whereabouts. But he cheats her in the process and
quickly finds himself in her crosshairs. As Isobel continues
to evolve into a monstrous predator, it’s clear her rage
will eventually win out over reason. Will Spear finish his
hunt before he himself becomes the hunted? Dark Intelligence is the explosive first novel in a brand
new trilogy from military SF master Neal Asher and a new
chapter in his epic Polity universe.
