The Line of Polity by Neal Asher
The Agent Ian Cormac series continues. There is a Dragon follow up. The new bad guy is Skellor. The last third of the book is one giant battle sequence on the planet of Masada.
I'm liking these early books more than the later ones. Although, if I had read these first I might have gotten a better sense of the later books. At this point in the timeline, Masada is a slave planet run by a Theocracy that is outside the Polity. The planet is on the verge of revolution when Ian Cormac steps in, on the run from Skellor and trying to figure out what the planet sized entity Dragon is up to.
It's all the familiar characters from the first book doing more terrible things. I liked it. I might have to break down and buy some books since the library doesn't carry the remaining three books in the series.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
