Publisher Description
In Neal Asher's The Technician, the Theocracy has been dead for twenty years, and the Polity rules on Masada – but it is an order that the rebels of the Tidy Squad cannot accept, and the iconic Jeremiah Tombs is top of their hitlist.
Its secrets could mean our survival . . .
On the savage planet of Masada, one of the native aliens is spreading terror through the human population. It creates sculptures from its victims’ remains, earning it its nickname: the Technician. And only Jeremiah Tombs has survived an encounter. This sent him mad, but he may have learned something key to humanity’s survival – if he lives to remember it. Jeremiah was a member of a brutal regime, now deposed, and a radical sect still wants its revenge.
The Technician buried something in Jeremiah’s mind about the alien Atheter, an entire race that committed suicide. However, in seeking to understand their disappearance, we may somehow be attracting the same fate. And to unlock Jeremiah’s secrets, Polity operatives must keep him alive.
Customer Reviews
Neal Asher does it again,
When I first read this book it took me only a few days to complete it, it is the kind of read that will have you coming back for more until the grand finale.
As with most of Neal Ashers work this book is much more enjoyable if you have read some of his previous work but in saying that this book does make a great stand alone story.
As I have read several of Neal Ashers books before I feel that this book does his previous body of work proud.
As always with Neal Asher the story really comes together through several sub plots and with the aid of ultra high technology and epic space battles this is the kind of book that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
