Outlink station Miranda has been destroyed by a nanomycelium, and the very nature of this sabotage suggests that the alien bioconstruct Dragon – a creature as untrustworthy as it is gigantic – is somehow involved. And I found that there was much more to enjoy than my faulty memory allowed… This third time, some 6 years after reading it, I was aware of my first impression all that time back, yet I knew that what awaits me after this book pushed me through without any qualms. However, for my second attempt I managed to put these to one side and I powered through it, enjoying the story that Asher told. When I initially tried to read it I was put off by my view of the setting and somewhat strong religion-bashing theme that is rather heavy handed during the early chapters. As I approached the Cormac re-read this was the one book I didn’t know how I’d like this time around. The Line of Polity is the second novel in Neal Asher’s Cormac series, preceded by Gridlinked ( review) and picking up events a short while after its conclusion.
