Book description
The Polity Collective, which benignly rules numerous star systems, has
come up against a chilling opponent. The crablike Prador are
bloodthirsty aliens bent on crushing the Polity and stealing its
runcible technology . . . and they possess a frightening superiority in
space warfare. Two wild-card humans, a vengeance-driven soldier and a
runcible technician, must now combine their talents in an attempt to
stop a seemingly invincible Prador warship from incinerating yet another
Polity world. Combining violence and cunning in a race against time,
this is classic space opera from one of the new UK masters of the genre.
Literally never a dull moment: 'A fast and furious spectacle developed
with gusto' Booklist
