Neal Asher

"Ursula has lived two human lifespans, courtesy of the latest technology. Now she's struggling to find excitement and purpose. And after a failed stint in the Polity's military, the ex-soldier heads for the stars - hunting for a simpler, more meaningful existence. After founding a colony on the hostile planet of Threpsis, Ursula finally feels alive. But when deadly raptors attack, her colonists are forced to adapt in unprecedented ways. Yet how could the Polity have missed these apex predators? Biophysicist Oren forms his own survival plan, driven by the mounting dangers - and he'll pursue it at any cost. Then, a desperate battle erupts, which consumes the entire planet. Ursula finds she must dig deep into her past to ensure humanity's future."
