Sci-Fi

The Polity Universe

Neal Asher

18 books

Neal Asher's Polity is one of the richest settings in contemporary science fiction: a far-future human civilisation governed by vast AIs, threatened by ancient alien predators called Prador, and populated by characters who are wonderfully strange. The universe spans multiple interlocking sub-series with high-octane action, inventive biotech horror, and genuine philosophical weight. Readers who love hard Sci-Fi with monster-movie energy will be hooked immediately.
