In the far future, Earth is only one planet inhabited by humanity, the capital of a long-abandoned interstellar empire. A new society has emerged, and slowly the planet is recovering from millennia of exploitation, arrogance and aggression. But all is threatened when a former colony's fleet of twelve adiamante-armoured warships appears in orbit and tries to intimidate the people of Earth into submission. Refusing to surrender, but unable to take defensive measures until the fleet attacks, there seems no easy solution. And it is up to Ecktor deJanes, the newly appointed planetary co-ordinator, to bear the responsibility of protecting Earth while maintaining its new principles. Adiamante is a powerful and compelling science fiction novel from one of the most exciting storytellers in genre fiction.
