A high-octane sci-fi adventure, Jack Four is a standalone novel set
in Neal Asher's acclaimed Polity Universe. Thrilling and
fast-paced, it's perfect for fans of Alastair Reynolds and Stephen
Baxter. Created to die – determined to live . . . Jack Four –
one of twenty human clones – has been created to be sold. His
purchasers are the alien prador want him for one thing: their
experimentation program. But there is something different about
Jack. The prador’s king has been mutated by the Spatterjay virus
into a monstrous creature, along with his children. They were
infected by the virus during the last humans-versus-prador war, now
lapsed into an uneasy truce. But the prador are always looking for
new weapons – and their experimentation program might give them
the edge they seek. Suzeal trades human slaves out of the
Stratogaster Space Station. She thinks the rewards are worth the
risks, but all that is about to change. The Station was once a zoo,
containing monsters from across known space. All the monsters now
dwell on the planet below, but they aren’t as contained as they
seem. And a vengeful clone may be the worst danger of all . . .

directly for the brain’ – John Scalzi, author of the Old
Man’s War series 'Magnificently awesome. Then Asher turns it up
to eleven' – Peter F. Hamilton, author of Salvation, on Asher's
