Polity Agent by Neal Asher5/28/2023 This raises questions: why was Dragon, a massive bioconstruct of the Makers, really sent to the Polity why did a Jain node suddenly end up in the hands of someone who could do the most damage with it? Meanwhile an entity called the Legate is distributing toxic Jain nodes. Once these refugees are safely through, the gate itself is rapidly shut down – because something alien is pursuing them.įrom those who get through, agent Cormac learns that the Maker civilization has been destroyed by pernicious virus known as the Jain technology. Those coming through it have been tasked with taking the alien ‘Maker’ back to its home civilization in the Small Magellanic cloud. Space opera on a magnificent, non-stop roller-coaster of actionįrom 800 years in the future, a runcible gate is opened into the Polity. Of course, just because that sub-story concluded it doesn’t mean everything is fine, far from it – Jain tech is still out there and Polity Agent hits the ground running. The second and third books in the series, The Line of Polity ( review) and Brass Man ( review), dealt with the emergence of Jain tech and Skellor’s use of it, and was a fairly self-contained duology within the main story. Polity Agent is the fourth book in the Agent Cormac series, a series I’ve been recently re-reading and thoroughly enjoying.
