Media Alert: Neal Asher to return to the universe of Polity
Neal Asher is best known for his Polity universe which he concluded with The Technician back in 2010. After The Technician Neal Asher wrote a new series called The Owner Trilogy that featured the books: The Departure, Zero Point and concluding with Jupiter War in 2013. I am going to be honest and say that I only read the first book in the Agent Cormac series, Gridlinked, but it did definitely leave an impact on me. 2014 didn't see a release of one of Neal Ashers' books and here is why: Dark Intelligence.
In Dark Intelligence Neal Asher will take his readers back to his established Polity universe!

The novel itself features an epic chase across space, a quest for vengeance and a very human need to find a place in the world when everything you knew is gone. Here, one man will transcend death to seek vengeance. One woman will transform herself to gain power. And no one will emerge unscathed . . . It’s a really explosive read!
