AD 2204. An alien shipwreck is discovered on a planet at the very limits of human expansion - so Security Director Feriton Kayne selects a team to investigate. The ship’s sinister cargo not only raises bewildering questions but could also foreshadow humanity’s extinction. It will be up to the team to bring back answers, and the consequences of this voyage will change everything. Back on Earth, we can now make deserts bloom and extend lifespans indefinitely, so humanity seems invulnerable. We therefore welcomed the Olyix to Earth when they contacted us. But were the Olyix a blessing or a curse?

Publisher's Summary
In this second volume of Rise of the Jain, Neal Asher takes us on a thrilling ride into interstellar politics and impending war.
Their nemesis lies in wait....
Orlandine has destroyed the alien Jain super-soldier by deploying an actual black hole. And now that same weapon hoovers up clouds of lethal Jain technology, swarming within the deadly accretion disc’s event horizon. All seems just as she planned. Yet behind her back, forces incite rebellion on her home world, planning her assassination.
Earth Central, humanity’s ruling intelligence, knows Orlandine was tricked into releasing her weapon and fears the Jain are behind it. The prador king knows this too – and both foes gather fleets of warships to surround the disc. The alien Client is returning to the accretion disc to save the last of her kind, buried on a ship deep within it. She upgrades her vast weapons platform in preparation and she’ll need it. Her nemesis also waits within the disc’s swirling dusts – and the Jain have committed genocide before.
The Warship is set in Neal Asher's popular Polity universe.

Holy Bejesus, that's the biggest f***** ship ever.
Tech level is ramped up again, the Jain tech we've seen so far has been the equivalent of wooden ships...here come the dreadnoughts...epic stuff.

Asher continue to impress
Neal Asher is the master of techno-military SciFi. He populates his books with a bewildering array of technological Marvel's, alien species and AIs. The story is simple and linear, but satisfying enough for my daily commute. His descriptions are complex and sometimes arcane, but they serve to illustrate the universe he portrays perfectly. Looking forward to the next novel.

I love the Polity universe
I'm so glad that the dreaded Jain are making their appearance but it looks like absolutely everyone is Ankit to get their ar$es handed to them. Very keen for the next installment. I really like Peter Noble's performance too. Just right.

Best one so far
Asher’s books have been getting progressively better and better, and that has continued with this one - the story was gripping, and it was told really well. I’m very excited for the next one.

Solid follow up
Following on from the solider, the story stays with the main characters and expands with more in-depth prador characters which work well. The narrative is exciting although sometimes I think the battle detail takes away from the main story arc. If you liked the solider you’ll like this.

Superb continuation of the Jain
Second book in the current Jain books, excellent story and characters and I am so happy that Neal Asher got Peter Noble back to narrate as the narrator that was used for the Spatterjay books ruined my enjoyment, just got wait for part 3 now 😳

Suffers "middle book" syndrome
Not so much of anything happens, but characters and situations are clearly set up for the final book. It's a meandering story, not helped by a droll reading which fails to inject life to the characters. Cool tech, and I'll continue, but I need a break from it first.

At last!
With most SF now being of the form of militaristic expansion of humanity, Asher’s efforts are a breath of fresh air reminiscent of Iain Banks. Can’t wait for the Audible version of Human

Merely a filling for a sequel
So very disappointed by the latest work of one of my favourite authors who has obviously fallen into the money trap and has produced a banal placeholder for the third book in the trilogy. The whole work is lack luster filler, with no significant advancement of the story or character development. It's just a sad and sorry cash grab!
