Historia
Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade him in the war. And one of humanity's heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. After Earth was destroyed, mankind created a fighting elite to save their species, enhanced humans such as Idris. In the silence of space they could communicate, mind-to-mind, with the enemy. Then their alien aggressors, the Architects, simply disappeared - and Idris and his kind became obsolete. Now, 50 years later, Idris and his crew have discovered something strange abandoned in space.

Historia
After endless years of fighting in a galaxy-wide war, the most decorated super-soldier of the Old Federation was granted leave, sliding into a stasis tube aboard a sleeper ship. The ship never reached its port, and the soldier woke up a thousand years later on an operating table. The Old Federation was gone, most planets hurled back into the Stone Age. A devastated Earth used spies instead of spaceships to compete against the tougher, richer worlds.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Fashioning themselves as the one true “Human Republic,” the Sturm cut a bloody swath across the stars, killing billions before finally being defeated and driven into the far reaches of Dark Space. Centuries of peace bred complacency. Everyone believed the Sturm had died out in the Dark. They were wrong.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Resumen del Editor
Humanity, artificial intelligences, and monstrous aliens clash over control of deadly technology in this explosive beginning to Neal Asher’s newest Polity series.
In a far corner of space, on the very borders between humanity’s Polity worlds and the kingdom of the vicious crab-like prador, is an immediate threat to all sentient life: an accretion disc, a solar system designed by the long-dead Jain race and swarming with living technology powerful enough to destroy entire civilizations.
Neither the Polity or the prador want the other in full control of the disc, so they’ve placed an impartial third party in charge of the weapons platform guarding the technology from escaping into the galaxy: Orlandine, a part-human, part-AI haiman. She’s assisted by Dragon, a mysterious, spaceship-sized alien entity who has long been suspicious of Jain technology and who suspects the disc is a trap lying-in-wait.
Meanwhile, the android Angel is planning an attack on the Polity, and is searching for a terrible weapon to carry out his plans - a Jain super-soldier. But what exactly the super-soldier is, and what it could be used for if it fell into the wrong hands, will bring Angel and Orlandine’s missions to a head in a way that could forever change the balance of power in the Polity universe.
In The Soldier, British science fiction writer Neal Asher kicks off another Polity-based trilogy in signature fashion, concocting a mind-melting plot filled with far-future technology, lethal weaponry, and bizarre alien creations.

Civilizations have risen and fallen. The Andromeda Galaxy is drifting into the Milky Way. And Earth is most certainly a distant memory.

The Tantalus 13 survey expedition went off the rails as soon as Mary Ketch and the crew of the Diamelen learned that the thing beneath their feet wasn’t a planet. An impossibly vast and ancient artificial structure lies below, hidden from the universe under a façade of cratered stone. SCARAB arrived on Tantalus 13 two years ago. An artificially intelligent, self-constructing factory, it was supposed to aid the crew in their mission, to meet their every need.

The Tantalus 13 survey expedition went off the rails as soon as Mary Ketch and the crew of the Diamelen learned that the thing beneath their feet wasn’t a planet. An impossibly vast and ancient artificial structure lies below, hidden from the universe under a façade of cratered stone. SCARAB arrived on Tantalus 13 two years ago. An artificially intelligent, self-constructing factory, it was supposed to aid the crew in their mission, to meet their every need.

Death awaits the curious! Out along the rim of the galaxy hangs a loose configuration of some 60 stars known as the Faustian Chain. This whorl of sparkling suns is rich in planets and occupies an irregular volume of space some 20 light years in diameter. From an external viewpoint, the Chain presents a colorful display of plasma-streams, luminous nebulae and sparkling pinpoints of light.

They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

Very underrated
Been a while since i’ve read sci fi book this well put together. It combines many aspects of sci-fi i enjoy. Unusual for me to enjoy “war sci fi” books, but this series is a tasteful balance of character and world building, politics, and conflict. The writing and conveyance of knowledge is concise and clear to an unusual level and the representation of AI and their thinking is not overwhelming yet very convincing. This first book, like all good series in my opinion, is a bit slow to get into due to all the moving parts, though still more action packed than most. The second book begins to really hook me. The third im sure will be fantastic. Haven’t read yet 😋

Neal Asher is the best sci fi writer
No one else describes the aliens like he does, the AI decision making. All the other SF books are more like space opera dramas nowadays, too much talking not enough action. Neal’s book moves from page 1 and doesn’t stop grinding out thrills. And again, NO ONE is as descriptive and thoughtful when describing even the biology of the ETs than Asher. Nobody. Awesome book can’t wait for #2

Great performance and good story - shouldn’t be your first polity book…
However, you really need to have read some of the earlier polity books as they give a foundation for many of the things discussed in this story both technical and cultural. This should not be the first Neal Asher book you read, for that I recommend starting with Gridlinked, the first book in the “Cormac” series and then going from there. It will help settle you into the universe and explain many of the technical concepts such as the Runcible and U space.

Mish Mash
The author is light years of U space beyond me in technical knowledge and imagination. But his application of those talents has created a mish mash. The characters, none of which are developed into a meaningful whole,
• are a mish mash of organic and inorganic parts,
• are each endowed with a built-in supercomputer and access to an ever more super computers processing infinite streams of data the content of which is never revealed,
• have inherent in their physical beings a mish mash of highly destructive weapons and control over even more potent weapons which they use with abandon.
The plot seems to be that the universe is a nasty and mean place threatened by remnants of a mish mash of “civilizations” present, past and future the only solution to which is blasting away whatever comes along.
The narration is okay except when it comes to the frequent and lengthy dialogues among characters. That is reminiscent of a grade school play with the actors so concerned about remembering their lines that their delivery is a flat monologue.

hard to follow
there is too much intelligible jargon making the storyline hard to follow.
hard to relate to current terminology, and with little explanation.
