The Polity is under attack from a ‘melded’ AI entity with control of the lethal Jain technology, yet the attack seems to have no coherence. All totally unfounded of course, as Line War not only closes the series in style, it’s one of Asher’s best book. Line War brings the story to a conclusion, and while it ends the series as a whole I always had that niggle of a doubt – both on my initial read and on this re-read – that it might not be as spectacular as I hoped.
After that came Brass Man ( review) and Polity Agent ( review), both of which upped the stakes and delivered some really great sci-fi. The first two books, Gridlinked ( review) and The Line of Polity ( review), were rather enjoyable, but they did have their issues.
Dimensions: 6.70in - 4.30in - 1.40in - 0.Finally I’ve come to the last Agent Cormac book, Line War, and up to now it’s been a ride of ups and downs. Night Shade Books is proud to reissue Neal Asher's Agent Cormac series, a fast-moving, edge-of-your-seat science fiction adventure from one of today's most exciting SF talents Book Details and a renegade attack ship, The King of Hearts, has encountered something very nasty outside the Polity itself. This, of course, 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? And all the while, an entity called the Legate is distributing pernicious Jain nodes. From the refugees, Agent Ian Cormac learns that the Maker civilization has been destroyed by a virus: the Jain technology. But the gate itself is rapidly shut down and dumped into a nearby sun-something alien is pursuing them. From eight hundred years in the future, a runcible gate is opened into the Polity, allowing a ragged tide of refugees through as they attempt to take the alien "Maker" back to its home civilization. 
"Asher is a modern master of sci-fi." - Starburst magazine The thrilling saga of Agent Cormac continues as a rogue alien technology begins its devastating spread through the worlds of the Polity.
