SFX Magazine
'Asher is brilliant at conveying the vastness of space, the strangeness of alien life and the sweep of planetary horizons.'

Synopsis
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. When one of Erebus's wormships, kills millions on the world of Klurhammon, a high-tech agricultural world of no real tactical significance, agent Ian Cormac is sent to investigate, though he is secretly struggling to control a new ability no human being should possess ...and beginning to question the motives of his AI masters. Further attacks and seemingly indiscriminate slaughter ensue, but only serve to bring some of the most dangerous individuals in the Polity into the war.Mr Crane, the indefatigable brass killing machine sets out for vengeance, while Orlandine, a vastly-augmented haiman who herself controls Jain technology, seeks a weapon of appalling power and finds allies from an ancient war. Meanwhile Mika, scientist and Dragon expert, is again kidnapped by that unfathomable alien entity and dragged into the heart of things: to wake the makers of Jain technology from their five-million-year slumber. But Erebus's attacks are not so indiscriminate, after all, and could very well herald the end of the Polity itself.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Bang on!, 14 April 2008 By  Ed F "edz314" (UK) - See all my reviews I love space opera and this series, the Agent Cormac novels, has delivered in spades. Line war is billed as it's conclusion, my thoughts on that later, and contains the usual rip roaring multi threaded action we have come to expect as Cormac uncovers a very nasty conspiracy which takes him from fighting on the frontiers to the very heart of the Polity. On the way we have gigantic space weapons, vast battle sequences, mahyem on a planetary scale, conversations with the makers of ancient booby traps and many other gripping sequences. A great end to the series, neatly typing up nearly all the threads laid out during the previous four books but I can't see Neal Asher leaving a character as good as Cormac on the shelf for long, I wager he'll be back elsewhere in the polity metaverse, even if just as a Deus ex machina plot device.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Lots of converging threads in this book, lots of nasty technology and quite a few grumpy war drones. Not a good book to start with if you are just getting into Asher's Polity series. Line War very much builds on the previous novels and you could get a bit lost without having read them first.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   As good as the best., 28 April 2008 By  Daniel Nelson (White Bear Lake MN, USA) - See all my reviews    What more can be said. I'm preaching to the converted here anyway.Along with Morgan and Banks, Asher is the best(Hamilton and Reynolds close behind.)With Cormac, Neal Asher has written the most consistently enjoyable and engaging series in the last ten years.The only other series that comes close is Morgan's (only) three Kovacs novels. If you know science fiction at all you know it's only a question of whether Line War is worth reading. The answer is an emphatic yes. Buy it and read it. If you've not read anything by Mr. Asher yet, start with The Skinner. After that, you'll be hooked, but for maximum enjoyment and clarity, read the Cormac books in order.You will not regret reading Neal Asher.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
