| book description |

Doomed to die. And die again. Dark Diamond is the first in a high-octane space opera trilogy from Neal Asher, creator of the Polity universe. Captain Blite knows that someone, or something, is trying to kill him. But a device he possesses, known only as the dark diamond, won't let that happen. After surviving a series of catastrophic accidents and assassination attempts, Blite realizes that whenever he dies the dark diamond reverses time to a moment before his death. He must go through the traumatic experience again and again until he escapes. Every encounter Blite survives generates a time flash which reveals potential futures. This extraordinary phenomenon attracts the attention of Polity agents and the crab-like p-Prador who wish to acquire this power for themselves. Hunted across space and time, Blite must uncover the true nature of the dark diamond before it causes his destruction . . . Praise for Neal Asher 'Neal Asher's books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly at the brain' – John Scalzi, author of Old Man's War 'Non-stop action and unimaginable stakes' – Yoon Ha Lee on The Soldier 'Imaginative, energetic and insane' – SFX on Brass Man
