Dark Intelligence is a 2015 science fiction novel by Neal Asher. [1] The story is set in the Polity universe [1] and focuses on the dark (corrupted) AI Penny Royal. The plot follows several characters, each searching for Penny Royal for different reasons and culminates in a clash around the world of Masada. The plot is closely linked to that of Asher's 2011 novel The Technician. The main protagonist is Thorvald Spear, a new character to Asher's novels, who has been reanimated in a cloned body after his mind storage crystal was recovered over a century after his death. [2] As the novel develops it becomes clear that Spear's memories have been adjusted allowing the character to serve as an unreliable narrator.
