The Technician

Spatterjay : une planète recouverte par les océans et grouillant de créatures marines hostiles. Sur l'un de ses rares îlots vit l'Écorcheur, une entité monstrueuse semant la terreur parmi les pêcheurs qui sillonnent ses eaux. Des pêcheurs qui, bien décidés à détruire cette abomination une fois pour toutes, unissent leurs forces... Ainsi débute une course-poursuite planétaire, une traque dans laquelle seront embarqués trois personnages pour le moins curieux : Erlin, une scientifique à la recherche d'un capitaine immortel, Keech, un flic ressuscité après 700 ans dans le but de retrouver un criminel, et Janer, en mission pour les Frelons, espèce terrestre ayant développé une intelligence communautaire.Mais ce qui les attend sur les traces de l'Écorcheur, est bien plus qu'une aventure d'une rare violence. Car Spatterjay, aux confins de la galaxie, loin du couvert des lois gouvernementales du Polity, réserve d'autres surprises...

L'Écorcheur

Weaponized is a thrilling far-future space opera by acclaimed science fiction author Neal Asher, a standalone adventure set in the expansive Polity universe. A bright new future for humanity - or a dark and inescapable past. Ursula has lived twice the normal human lifespan, courtesy of the latest technology. But now she's struggling to find excitement and purpose, so signs up to the Polity's military. She excels in weapons development, and progresses rapidly up the ranks. But after botching a powerful new ammunition test, she's dismissed from service. Hunting for a simpler, more meaningful existence, the ex-soldier heads for the stars. And after founding a colony on the hostile planet of Threpsis, Ursula finally feels alive. Then deadly raptors attack and the colonists are forced to adapt in unprecedented ways. The raptors also raise a deeply troubling question: how could the Polity have missed these apex predators? And alien ruins? Meanwhile, biophysicist Oren has formed his own survival plan - one he'll pursue at any cost. As a desperate battle erupts to consume the planet, Ursula finds she must dig deep into her past to ensure humanity's future.
