Özet

The Soldier is the first novel in the no-holds barred Rise of the Jain series, by bestselling science fiction author Neal Asher.

'A beautifully complex universe where AIs, aliens and post-humans scheme and struggle – magnificently awesome.' – Peter F. Hamilton


Her mission is vital. Her failure is unthinkable.

A corner of space swarms with alien technology, a danger to all sentient life. It’s guarded by Orlandine, who must keep it contained – as it could destroy entire civilizations. An alien intelligence shares her vigil. But she doesn’t share everything with Dragon . . .

Orlandine is hatching a plan to obliterate this technology, removing its threat forever. For some will do anything to exploit this ancient weaponry, created by a long-dead race called the Jain. This includes activating a Jain super-soldier, which may breach even Orlandine’s defences.

Meanwhile, humanity and the alien prador empire also watch this sector of space, as neither can allow the other to claim its power. However, things are about to change. The Jain might not be as dead as they seemed and interstellar war is just a heartbeat away.

The action continues in The Warship.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Neal Asher's books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly for the brain (John Scalzi)
The Soldier provides everything we demand from Asher: a beautifully complex universe where AIs, aliens and post-humans scheme and struggle – magnificently awesome. Then Asher turns it up to eleven (Peter F. Hamilton)
A richly imagined, exotic world, nonstop action, and unimaginable stakes - I couldn't put The Soldier down (Yoon Ha Lee, author of Ninefox Gambit)
Neal Asher's coruscating mix of epic space opera, weaponised Darwinism and high-stakes intrigue channels the primal flame of deep-core science fiction (Paul McAuley, author of Four Hundred Billion Stars)
With mind-blowing complexity, characters, and combat, Asher’s work continues to combine the best of advanced cybertech and military SF
Asher is a modern master of Sci-Fi

Really enjoyed reading this chapter in the Polity universe, it's still hard to grasp the scale of things and the involvement of hooper's and Prador adds a nice addition.

I’m late in coming to Neal Asher books but I’m glad I did, it has been many years since a book so thoroughly held me that I can’t wait to listen to the next chapter, the narration is top notch too

Excellent book and narration

This is incomplete .. an interesting snippet, but probably only 1/2 or 1/3rd of a complete tale, and that ignores the backstory elements all the way back to the original 'Gridlinked', which IMO is superior in every way. The whole Asherverse is turning into a space opera with no end in sight,and the lurid prose becomes ever more EE Doc Smith-like, with ever more deadly particle beams coruscating wildly against ever more impenetrable shields (sorry 'hard fields').

The reading is pretty good although there were a couple of occasions where the timing (breaks between clauses) was wrong, or a wrong word was read (but without the printed text it is always possible that the written work was already wrong). I shall not be holding my breath for the next thrilling installment.

The start of something, incomplete. Not his best.

If you’ve enjoyed previous Neal Asher books, you’ll enjoy this one :-)

Expands the story of the Jain, where they came from, what caused the Jain nodes, and what happened to the Jain themselves ... looking forward to more in the series.

I really loved this story however was a little disappointed that ultimately it was about very human instincts of dominance and power

Enjoyable but..
