Publisher's Synopsis
It's first contact. Polity style!
The Polity Collective is the pinnacle of space-faring civilization.
Academic and insightful, its dominion stretches from Earth Central
into the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. But when the
Polity finally encounters alien life in the form of massive, hostile,
crablike carnivores known as the Prador, there can be only one
outcome. total warfare.
Chaos reigns as the Polity, caught unawares, struggles to regain its
foothold and transition itself into a military society. Starships clash,
planets fall, and space stations are overrun, but for Jebel Krong and
Moria Salem, two unlikely heroes trapped at the center of the action,
this war is far more than a mere clash of cultures, far more than
technology versus brute force. this war is personal.
Epic in scope, unrelenting in action, Prador Moon delivers the
blistering battles and astounding literary pyrotechnics that fans of
Neal Asher, author of Gridlinked, The Line of Polity, and The
Skinner, have come to expect. Prador Moon is Asher's latest and
most shocking excursion into the Polity's universe of over-the-top
violence and explosive action. Asher delivers a vivid, visceral, brilliantly
intense space opera that you won't soon forget.
