Prador Moon - Neal Asher

It's first contact. Polity style!

The Polity Collective is the pinnacle of space-faring civilization.Academic and insightful, its dominion stretches from Earth Centralinto the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. But when thePolity finally encounters alien life in the form of massive, hostile,crablike carnivores known as the Prador, there can be only oneoutcome. total warfare.

Chaos reigns as the Polity, caught unawares, struggles to regain itsfoothold and transition itself into a military society. Starships clash,planets fall, and space stations are overrun, but for Jebel Krong andMoria Salem, two unlikely heroes trapped at the center of the action,this war is far more than a mere clash of cultures, far more thantechnology versus brute force. this war is personal.

Epic in scope, unrelenting in action, Prador Moon delivers theblistering battles and astounding literary pyrotechnics that fans ofNeal Asher, author of Gridlinked, The Line of Polity, and TheSkinner, have come to expect. Prador Moon is Asher's latest andmost shocking excursion into the Polity's universe of over-the-topviolence and explosive action. Asher delivers a vivid, visceral, brilliantlyintense space opera that you won't soon forget.
