While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.

But just how powerful is it? And how does everything connect? Only Agent Cormac can find out. Roaming the planet is the mysterious and rogue biophysicist, Skellor, who possesses something so powerful that Polity AIs will stop at nothing to acquire it. To make matters worse, the rebellion is trapped below-ground since the slave population is subjected to an arsenal of powerful laser arrays controlled by an elite group known only as the Theocracy hidden within cylinder worlds. If that’s not enough, the planet houses the weird and terrible gabbleducks. There is no breathable air and monstrous predatorial hooders and siluroynes lurk the planet. Meanwhile in the dangerous world of Masada, the remote planet deals with the long-term rebellion from its slave population. In his thrilling quest to seek the truth, Cormac navigates through the tolling and difficult remote world of Masadaready to be subsumed as the Line of Polity is sketched across it. In The Line of Polity, Agent Cormac is sent to the scene to investigate this disaster aboard the titanic Polity dreadnought, the Occam Razor. Nobody knows why, but all the signs of devastation point to Dragon, a gigantic bioconstructed creature. Full-scale action SF by one of Britains most popular new writers. The outlink station of Miranda has been completely destroyed by a nanomycelium. Buy a used copy of The Line of Polity book by Neal Asher.
