Line War is the fifth and concluding installment in Neal Asher's thrilling Agent Cormac series. The human Polity worlds are facing a dire threat from Erebus, a rogue AI that has merged with lethal Jain technology and is not hesitant to employ it. When Erebus massacres millions on a seemingly insignificant world, Agent Ian Cormac is dispatched to investigate. He is also secretly grappling with an extraordinary ability that no human should possess, causing him to question the motives of his AI masters.

Further indiscriminate attacks draw in the most dangerous individuals within the Polity. Mr. Crane, a remorseless killing machine, seeks revenge. Orlandine, a hybrid of AI and human, is on a quest to acquire a weapon of immense power. And Dragon has plans to awaken the creators of Jain technology from their long slumber. However, can Erebus be stopped, or is this the end for the Polity?
