Win a Copy of Neal Asher’s Dark Intelligence: Transformation Book One
Popular British author Neal Asher is kicking off a new trilogy set in his “Polity” universe with Dark Intelligence: Transformation Book One, which is being released in early February; and we’ve got a few copies to give away to some lucky Dread Central readers.
Transformation joins the other series Asher has set in Polity such as the 5-book Agent Cormac and 3-book Spatterjay. While his works mostly fall within the sci-fi genre, with Dark Intelligence we have a man returning from the dead and a woman transforming into a “monstrous” thing so it sounded worthy of mention.
Look for it on February 3rd from Night Shade Books in bookstores and all the usual online outlets.
To enter for your chance to win one of the three copies of Dark Intelligence: Transformation Book One we have up for grabs, just send an email to contests@dreadcentral.com including your FULL NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS. We’ll take care of the rest.
This contest is only open to US entrants and will end at 12:01 AM PT on January 30, 2015.
Synopsis:
One man will transcend death to seek vengeance. One woman will transform herself to gain power. And no one will emerge unscathed…
Thorvald Spear wakes in a hospital to find he’s been brought back from the dead. What’s more, he died in a human vs. alien war that ended a century ago. Spear had been trapped on a world surrounded by hostile Prador forces, but Penny Royal, the AI inside the rescue ship sent to provide backup, turned rogue, annihilating friendly forces in a frenzy of destruction and killing Spear. One hundred years later the AI is still on the loose, and Spear vows for revenge at any cost.
Isobel Satomi ran a successful crime syndicate, but after competitors attacked, she needed power and protection. Negotiating with Penny Royal, she got more than she bargained for: Turning part-AI herself gave Isobel frightening power, but the upgrades hid a horrifying secret, and the dark AI triggered a transformation that has been turning her into something far from human…
Spear hires Isobel to track Penny Royal across worlds to its last known whereabouts. But he cheats her in the process and quickly finds himself in her crosshairs. As Isobel continues to evolve into a monstrous predator, it’s clear her rage will eventually win out over reason. Will Spear finish his hunt before he himself becomes the hunted?
Dark Intelligence is the explosive first novel in a brand new trilogy from military SF master Neal Asher and a new chapter in his epic Polity universe.
