About this listen

Rebellion could be their salvation – or their doom. War Bodies by Neal Asher is a gripping, high-octane standalone set in his expansive Polity universe.

Long ago, the Cyberat left Earth to co-evolve with machines. Now, led by the powerful dictator Castron, their Old Guard believe that machines should replace the physical body. But these beliefs are upended with the arrival of the human Polity – and their presence ignites rebellion.

Piper was raised as a weapon against the Cyberat, implanted with secretive hardware. When his parents are captured by the Old Guard, the Polity offer him unexpected aid. Piper knows the Polity want more from him, but at what cost? The rebellion also attracts the deadly prador, placing an entire world in peril.

As war rages across the planet, Piper must battle with the unknown technology implanted in his bones. It may be the Polity’s answer to their relentless fight against the prador. It could also be civilization-ending Jain tech – or something far more extraordinary.

Top notch Neal Asher

After listening to 10 or more Polity universe books, including Agent Cormac) I found this to be one of the best, maybe the best. I forget the title of the first one I listened to (with Tigger?) also one of my favorites... but they were all excellent stories, and I listened to them one after another over tthe past couple of weeks.
Excellent!

Another fine piece of space opera

Absolutely one of my favorite science fiction writers produced another Polity situated novel.
I love the concept of the polity which is situated in a far future we’re AI’s have taken over and rule based on the idea of the least suffering for all.
In the Novel the war against the vicious alien race, the Prador, is on it’s return and the hero discovers his suppressed abilities and struggles with his emotional (virtual) monster put in him by his father. After the war he faces his nemesis and the murderer of his father.
Very entertaining story and excellently narrated. Would recommend
