World Walkers by Neal Asher (2024)

"Ottanger is a rebel and mutant on an Earth governed by a ruthless Committee. But, after the Inspectorate experiments on him, he realizes his mutation allows him to reach alternate worlds. The multiverse is revealed in all its glory and terror - and he understands that he could finally flee his timeline. Then Ottanger meets the Fenris, an evolved form of human who is visiting his Earth from the far future. It seems the Fenris engineered the original world-walking mutation so that those altered could escape the Committee's nightmarish regime. Yet this only worked for a few; millions continued to suffer. And Ottanger sees that the Committee will become unstoppable if not destroyed. However, the Fenris has attracted another threat to Ottanger's Earth. The hive is a variant population of a trillion linked minds. It craves world-walking biotech and will do anything to get it. As conflict looms at home and war threatens the multiverse, the Fenris, Ottanger and his companions must prepare for a galaxy-altering battle."

War Bodies by Neal Asher (2023)

Rebellion will be their salvation or their doom. Long ago, the Cyberat faction left Earth to co-evolve with machines. Now, led by the powerful dictator Castron on a distant colony world, they believe machines should replace the physical body. But these beliefs are challenged when emissaries from Earth's Polity civilization arrive, igniting rebellion. Piper was raised as a covert weapon against the Cyberat, implanted with illicit hardware. And so, when his parents are incarcerated, the Polity offers protection. Piper knows that the Polity wants to use him in its war against the alien prador. But what choice does he have? Piper battles with the technology within him as unrest sweeps his planet and conflict threatens. Will he swap old tyrants for new masters? Or can he seize control of his own destiny?

Jack Four by Neal Asher (2021)

Jack Four is one of twenty human clones, sold to the alien prador's king for warfare. However, no clone should possess the secrets in Jack's head - and they could help him escape. The prador king has been horribly mutated by the Spatterjay virus. But the prador will use any weapon against humanity, so they've infected a human. Now this experiment has broken free to rampage through the king's ship. Jack will have to face the prador and this creature to escape. Yet he craves revenge as much as freedom - and soon he's a man with a plan and a missile launcher. What could possibly go wrong?
