One of his best works so far ... Asher is a modern master of
Sci-Fi

Beautifully paced ... does just as well as at slam-bang action

Blends large portions of horror and mystery into an SF tale of
revenge and redemption ... a complex and satisfying work

An exciting, intricate, and unabashedly futuristic story rife with
twists and turns ... Asher returns to his popular far-future
series, Polity Universe, with another fast-paced space opera filled
with his trademark technological marvels and elaborate world
building
*Booklist*
Hardboiled, fast-paced space opera epic ... Asher's books are
similar to the world of Iain M. Banks' Culture universe, but the
Polity is arguably a much darker and more vicious environment - and
all the better for it
*TheRegister.co.uk*
Dark Intelligence is an imaginative, epic space opera that manages
to present a dark future universe full of vibrant spaceships,
people, creatures and intelligence. Highly enjoyable and highly
addictive
*SFBook.com*
As you all should know, Neal Asher is one of Britain's leading
science fiction authors, best known for his Polity universe series.
Dark Intelligence has everything science fiction needs, and much,
much more
*TheBookPlank.co.uk*
Perpetually on the knife's edge, and this constant tension works
wonders for creating a page-turning atmosphere. It's a damningly
gripping and infecting book
*Upcoming4.me*
A superb novel and Asher has an amazing talent for world-building,
for writing larger-than-life characters, for weaving gripping plots
and for imagining exotic alien races and wonderful technologies.
Huge ships! Big weapons! Space battles! Ground battles! Treason!
Revenge! This is New Space Opera at its best
*Sense of Wonder*
