It creates sculptures from its victims' remains, earning it its nickname: the Technician. And only Jeremiah Tombs has survived an encounter. This sent him mad, but he may have learned something key to humanity's survival - if he lives to remember it. Jeremiah was a member of a brutal regime, now deposed, and a radical sect still wants its revenge.\n\nThe Technician buried something in Jeremiah's mind about the alien Atheter, an entire race that committed suicide. However, in seeking to understand their disappearance, we may somehow be attracting the same fate. And to unlock Jeremiah's secrets, Polity operatives must keep him alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Neal+Asher\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eNeal Asher\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neal Asher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380373766307,"sku":"9781509868490","price":285.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781509868490_fc3f7dd5-8902-4560-808e-19638350f33c.jpg?v=1776557304","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781509868490","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
