Snow in the Desert — Neal Asher

Now featured as part of the Love Death + Robots series on Netflix

Snow in the Desert is compelling, brutal and lingers long after the final word: the perfect introduction to Neal Asher's Polity universe fiction.

In the parched, arid wastes of this far-flung Polity world, Snow is being hunted. With a prize on his head and his life in danger, trust is a luxury he can't afford. Hirald, pale and deadly in the blistering heat, is an ambiguous presence. But who is she? What does she want from him?

Mankind has sought Snow's secret for thousands of years, and blood will flow in the desert before it's revealed.

Neal Asher is the author of many full-length novels, including Jack Four, The Soldier, Dark Intelligence, The Departure, The Skinner and Gridlinked.
