Book Description
======
Humanity, artificial intelligences, and monstrous aliens clash over
control of deadly technology in this explosive beginning to Neal Asher?s
newest Polity series.

In a far corner of space, on the very borders between humanity?s Polity
worlds and the kingdom of the vicious crab-like prador, is an immediate
threat to all sentient life: an accretion disc, a solar system designed
by the long-dead Jain race and swarming with living technology powerful
enough to destroy entire civilizations.

Neither the Polity or the prador want the other in full control of the
disc, so they?ve placed an impartial third party in charge of the weapons
platform guarding the technology from escaping into the galaxy: Orlandine,
a part-human, part-AI haiman. She?s assisted by Dragon, a mysterious,
spaceship-sized alien entity who has long been suspicious of Jain technology
and who suspects the disc is a trap lying-in-wait.

Meanwhile, the android Angel is planning an attack on the Polity, and
is searching for a terrible weapon to carry out his plans – a Jain super-soldie-
r. But what exactly the super-soldier is, and what it could be used
for if it fell into the wrong hands, will bring Angel and Orlandine?s
missions to a head in a way that could forever change the balance of
power in the Polity universe.

In The Soldier, British science fiction writer Neal Asher kicks off
another Polity-based trilogy in signature fashion, concocting a mind-melting
plot filled with far-future technology, lethal weaponry, and bizarre
alien creations.
