Did every member of that alien race really agree to the total extinction of their kind and all their creations? It appears that at least one did not. ![]() ![]() Somewhere in the depths of his madness, the Technician has buried something important about the Atheter that even the AIs can't fathom. While the fanatical Tidy Squad intend to assassinate Tombs as the last symbolic remnant of their hatred of the old order on Masada, the Polity need to keep him alive. Jeremiah Tombs, one of the few remaining members of the fallen Theocracy, is also the only known survivor of an attack by the legendary hooder. The story follows the bizarre activities of an albino hooder nicknamed the Technician, which has attracted attention to itself by creating gruesome and complex sculptures from the remains of its victims. Although the story does take a while to get started and I struggled a little with the technology of it, I thoroughly enjoyed the read. As a relative newcomer to the Polity universe, with this only being my second Asher book, I wasn't sure how well I'd be able to follow the story. ![]()
