Humanity's freedom teeters on a precipice, as the totalitarian Committee hunts down rebels fleeing from Earth. Zero Point is the second book in Neal Asher's Owner trilogy.
It was a quest for vengeance; now it's full-blown rebellion. Zero Point is the second book in Neal Asher's high-octane Owner trilogy.
He must flee or face his enemy . . .
Earth's Zero Asset citizens no longer face extermination from orbit. Thanks to Alan Saul, the Committee's network of control is a smoking ruin. Its robotic enforcers also lie dormant. But power abhors a vacuum, and the Committee's Serene Galahad seizes command.
On Mars, Var Delex is fighting to save the Antares Base. She must also crush the first signs of its own rebellion, while the Argus Space Station speeds towards the red planet. Var knows that whoever trashed Earth is still aboard. And aboard Argus Station, Alan Saul's mind has expanded into its computer network. There, he learns of the Humanoid Unit Development and its ghastly experiments; the possibility of eternal life; and of a madman who may hold the keys to interstellar flight. But Earth's agents are close, and the killing will soon begin.

Klappentext
In the cold reaches of space
Vengeance pursues him still
Earth's Zero Asset citizens no longer face extermination. And thanks to Alan Saul, the Committee's network of control is a smoking ruin. But power abhors a vacuum, and the Committee's Serene Galahad seizes command. Mars is also in turmoil, as Var Delex fights to save the Antares Base and crush its first signs of rebellion. All while the Argus Space Station speeds towards them - with the man who trashed Earth still aboard.
Alan Saul's mind has expanded into the Argus Station's computer network. There, he learns of the Humanoid Unit Development and its ghastly experiments; the possibility of eternal life, and a madman who may hold the keys to interstellar flight. But Galahad's agents won't let him escape, and the killing will soon begin.
