Further indiscriminate attacks attract the Polity''s most dangerous individuals. Mr Crane, a brass killing machine, seeks vengeance.

Asher is brilliant at conveying the vastness of deep space, the strangeness of alien life forms and the sweep of planetary horizons not to mention the vast sweep of the novel itself. Line War is where the Cormac novels have been heading. This is Asher's best novel yet
