The dangers of ancient technology loom over the Polity in the sequel to The Soldier, Neal Asher’s latest action-packed space opera series.
The haiman Orlandine, charged with safeguarding lethal Jain tech swirling inside an accretion disc located in the distant reaches of space, has weaponized a black hole to eliminate the threat. But others are suspicious of her motives, and both the Polity AIs and the leaders of the alien prador kingdom dispatch fleets of warships in anticipation of conflict.
As the black hole continues to eat its way through the planets in the accretion disc, making its way towards a dead sun, it becomes clear the disc has been hiding a larger secret. Nefarious forces with ulterior motives have manipulated Orlandine into deploying the black hole, triggering a series of larger events that will uncover a danger far older than even the Polity itself.
From British science fiction writer Neal Asher, The Warship picks up right where its predecessor, The Soldier, left off, showcasing Asher’s unique take on cutting-edge and fast-paced science fiction.

Will speculate this continues in a book yet to be written as there is nothing next on audible.
Story without a clear ending.

I knew that I was probably in trouble when the introduction was a description of all the many characters. It's a very complex story, with each having a mishmash of hangups and backstories. Worse, the characters have the ability to change form, function, and personality along the way.
It's going to take a lot of concentration to follow along, and, sci fi being what it is, expect unpredictable and arbitrary things to happen, easily explained away with techno-babble. I really like sci-fi and have been into it for 50 years, but I just couldn't get into this one. It was a struggle to follow, to the point that I wondered whether the manuscript had accidentally been dropped on the floor, and reassembled in random order... you just can't know what's on the next page... but than again, I don't like some jazz, which sounds arbitrary and random to me, so maybe it's just me. Maybe if I took my own advice and sat down to listen while doing nothing else, perhaps my review would be different, but I listen to books while doing other things, so there.
I realize that I'm in the minority with this one, given the high reviews this got, but so be it. I just couldn't complete it. I guess I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to a story and plot line, and like a smaller cast of characters and a more straightforward story line.
Don't be doing anything else while listening
