Description
Doomed to die. And die again. Dark Diamond is the first in a high-octane new 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 accidents and assassination attempts, Blite comes to realize that whenever he dies, the dark diamond reverses time to a moment before his death. He must then go through the traumatic experience again and again until he finally escapes. Every deadly encounter Blite survives generates a time flash, revealing potential futures. This attracts the attention of Polity agents and the crab-like Prador, determined to manipulate the device for their own purposes. Hunted across space and time, Blite must uncover the true nature of the dark diamond before it causes his destruction . . .
