Their nemesis lies in wait . . .
Orlandine has destroyed the alien Jain super-soldier by deploying an actual black hole. And now that same weapon hoovers up clouds of lethal Jain technology, swarming within the deadly accretion disc’s event horizon. All seems just as she planned. Yet behind her back, forces incite rebellion on her home world, planning her assassination.
Neal Asher was born 1961 in Billericay, Essex, the son of a school teacher and a lecturer in applied mathematics who were also SF aficionados.
Prior to 2000 the Asher had stories accepted by British small press SF and fantasy magazines but post 2000 his writing career took flight. The majority of his novels are set within one future history, known as the Polity universe. The Polity encompasses many classic science fiction tropes including world-ruling artificial intelligences, androids, hive minds and aliens.
I can’t wait for it Neal, I preordered last year, hardback and kindle (you’re the only author I do this with as I read the hardback then revisit your books on the kindle on holidays or just whenever).
Glad you are healthy man, cheers

Out of curiosity, in your opinion, could the Technician kill a Jain soldier?
That depends on the type of Jain soldier, its resources and development etc . . . and whether the story requires it!
Dear Mr Asher
Have you considered writing a novel about the Quiet War?
I have considered it, yes. But I like my aliens and there are none in that!
