Description
Alien technology has been discovered on a maximum-security space station, holding extraordinary power and posing significant risks. This standalone novel by Neal Asher explores the consequences of such discovery in a war-torn solar system. A research scientist's pregnancy on the station soon after her arrival sets off a chain of events that lead to devastating conflict between two planets. The technology stored within the space station has been used to create massive hilldigger blasts, leaving one planet severely damaged. As the power-hungry quads reach adulthood, they begin to exert their influence in post-war society. Their ambitions threaten humanity's future, raising questions about the responsible use of advanced technologies and the consequences of playing with forces beyond human control.
