## Description

Dark Diamond: Action-packed time travel space opera from sci-fi's most explosive author (Time's Shadow Book 1) eBook : Asher, Neal: desertcart.co.uk: Kindle Store

Review: Great Story With Cormac Back! - Great to see Agent Cormac back and some other old friends. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next book.
Review: Neal Asher's latest SF trilogy starts with a bang and then just accelerates. - Neal Asher has a gift for crafting expansive universes with imaginative but believable technology and ecologies. His villains are detestable and his heroes are surprisingly human (even when they have evolved far beyond that nomenclature). Here he has returned to the familiar Polity but also revisiting some of the themes he's explored in other novels set in differing universes. The writing is sublime and the cliff-hanger is absolutely crushing. If you enjoy epic-scale space opera then you will love this (although do yourself a favour and read all his other books first).

*by M***V on 19 August 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proper Kitchen Sink Job!
*by G***D on 30 April 2025*

I think this is his longest novel. Mr. Asher is playing some of his greatest hits here. Time travel is my least favourite sci-fi trope, but he incorporates it well enough. No romantic involvements either, so we're at least spared another toe curling sex scene. Things don't quite ring true in this one, though. It feels like it's been built rather than written. Like he's taken components out of storage and bolted them together, so it lacks the flow and cohesiveness of his best previous work. It stops dead as well, as if the whole thing has already been finished and chopped into three at a convenient point in the page count. So why four stars? Well, a by the numbers Neil Asher job is still a damn fine read. I look forward part two, maybe he'll hit his straps as we go on.
