Summary
In this second volume of Rise of the Jain, Neal Asher takes us on a thrilling ride into interstellar politics and impending war.
Their nemesis lies in wait....
Orlandine has destroyed the alien Jain super-soldier by deploying an actual black hole. And now that same weapon hoovers up clouds of lethal Jain technology, swarming within the deadly accretion disc’s event horizon. All seems just as she planned. Yet behind her back, forces incite rebellion on her home world, planning her assassination.
Earth Central, humanity’s ruling intelligence, knows Orlandine was tricked into releasing her weapon and fears the Jain are behind it. The prador king knows this too – and both foes gather fleets of warships to surround the disc. The alien Client is returning to the accretion disc to save the last of her kind, buried on a ship deep within it. She upgrades her vast weapons platform in preparation and she’ll need it. Her nemesis also waits within the disc’s swirling dusts – and the Jain have committed genocide before.
The Warship is set in Neal Asher's popular Polity universe.

Best one so far
Asher’s books have been getting progressively better and better, and that has continued with this one - the story was gripping, and it was told really well. I’m very excited for the next one.

Cliffhangertastic
Really good, slowly ramps up from where we left the last book. Massive cliff hanger, will struggle waiting for next book.

At last!
With most SF now being of the form of militaristic expansion of humanity, Asher’s efforts are a breath of fresh air reminiscent of Iain Banks.
Can’t wait for the Audible version of Human

Superb continuation of the Jain
Second book in the current Jain books, excellent story and characters and I am so happy that Neal Asher got Peter Noble back to narrate as the narrator that was used for the Spatterjay books ruined my enjoyment, just got wait for part 3 now 😳

Holy Bejesus, that's the biggest f***** ship ever.
Tech level is ramped up again, the Jain tech we've seen so far has been the equivalent of wooden ships...here come the dreadnoughts...epic stuff.

Asher continue to impress
Neal Asher is the master of techno-military SciFi. He populates his books with a bewildering array of technological Marvel's, alien species and AIs. The story is simple and linear, but satisfying enough for my daily commute. His descriptions are complex and sometimes arcane, but they serve to illustrate the universe he portrays perfectly. Looking forward to the next novel.

I love the Polity universe
I'm so glad that the dreaded Jain are making their appearance but it looks like absolutely everyone is Ankit to get their ar$es handed to them. Very keen for the next installment. I really like Peter Noble's performance too. Just right.

Good plot, inconsistent voice acting
Love the plot, but unfortunately some characters voices change between this and the previous book, and indeed between the start and end of the book. In particular Trike and Cog get a couple of accents and voices each and it distracted me every time either of them spoke.
