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 realizes 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 escapes. Every deadly encounter Blite survives generates a time flash, revealing potential futures. This attracts the attention of Polity agents and the crab-like p-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 . . . Praise for Neal Asher ''Neal Asher''s books are like an adrenaline shot targeted directly at the brain'' - John Scalzi ''Non-stop action and unimaginable stakes'' - Yoon Ha Lee on The Soldier ''Imaginative, energetic and insane'' - SFX on Brass Man
