Captain Blite owns a death-defying device that's coveted by powerful factions across space and time. Dark Diamond is the first book in a high-octane new trilogy from sci-fi master Neal Asher, creator of the Polity universe.
He can escape death. But can he escape eternity?
Somebody is trying to kill Captain Blite, but each attempt ends in unexpected failure. All Blite knows is that a black diamond—left to him by the dark AI Penny Royal—is somehow the cause of his unlikely survival.
Each failed attempt on Blite's life generates temporal anomalies, drawing the scrutiny of the ruthless Mobius AI Straeger, who craves the power and possibilities the diamond holds. But they also draw the attention of the legendary Polity agent Ian Cormac, whose skills and destructive reputation may make him Blite's only hope.
Caught in the crossfire of galactic forces, Blite must uncover the true nature of the dark diamond before it causes his destruction...
