THE FUTURE IS FOR THE TAKING.

Neal Asher concludes the Time's Shadow series with Dark Horizon – a mind-blowing sci-fi epic where one rogue AI threatens to unravel reality across a thousand possible futures.


Captain Blite and Agent Cormac are running out of options. Yossander's Hold is under siege from the prador ship, Kinghammer, a kamikaze weapon streaks towards the planet, and Sheen Brice is transforming into something the Polity has no name for. Their allies are dead, missing or worse, and there is no one left to call for help.

What began as the mystery of the dark diamond has become something far stranger. And somewhere on the edge of a black hole, a woman waits for a war she has spent a thousand years preparing for.

Because the Mobius AI Straeger is about to seize the one thing that can make him a god: time travel. From the event horizon of black holes to worlds remade as weapons, the battle for time must come to an end. And above it all hangs the unknowable agenda of the AI Penny Royal.
