Publisher's summary

The rogue AI Penny Royal makes a final stand in the explosive conclusion to Neal Asher's hard-hitting and high-tech Polity space opera trilogy.

In the outskirts of space, and the far corners of the Polity, complex dealings are in play.

Several forces continue to pursue the deadly and enigmatic Penny Royal, none more dangerous than the Brockle, a psychopathic forensics AI and criminal who has escaped the Polity’s confinements and is upgrading itself in anticipation of a deadly showdown, becoming ever more powerful and intelligent.

Aboard Factory Station Room 101, the behemoth war factory that birthed Penny Royal, groups of humans, alien prador, and AI war drones grapple for control. The stability of the ship is complicated by the arrival of a gabbleduck known as the Weaver, the last living member of the ancient and powerful Atheter alien race.

What would an Atheter want with the complicated dealings of Penny Royal? Are the Polity and prador forces playing right into the dark AI’s hand, or is it the other way around? Set pieces align in the final book of Neal Asher’s action-packed Transformation trilogy, pointing to a showdown on the cusp of the Layden’s Sink black hole, inside of which lies a powerful secret, one that could destroy the entire Polity.

Didn’t really like the narrator

The narration tone and delivery in this book was completely different than the first two books. I found this to be very jarring and a break in continuity. I also found this most recent narrator to be on the melodramatic side, and generally kind of annoying. Otherwise I really liked the story and the series.

Penny Royal's story was worth the wait

The voices the narrator chose for most of the AI's and female characters, however, were dreadful.

Torn

I enjoyed the story more than the narration. I think I will leave it at that.

Another great book from one of my favorite authors. Yet not a great performance.

Been looking forward to listening to this third book in the series. One of my favorites by Asher. Yet the narration is lackluster, some slightly annoying voicing and pacing. Overall a great book, worth the listen. Just not my favorite to relisten to.

A satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.

Great story from the perspective of mere mortals at the whims of an omniscient AI.
