( this novel has also been published inside the Diamond On Your Radar collection.) Diamond--unlike any other planet. Diamond--hard, chaotic, merciless. And I had to go there. Years ago near the end of the 24th century, while working as a Miscellaneous, I was hired to do one dangerous job on Diamond, but I wound up working two dangerous jobs--two dangerous jobs that didn't fit together. Torn between my past and my present then, I helped bring order and justice to a world where order and justice had been going extinct. …Or did I help? ---- Notes from the Diamond Sand is about 51,000 words; this hard-boiled sci-fi novel is the beginning of my Diamond Universe. Diamond Sand contains explicit language and sex scenes, and occasional violent situations. Diamond Sphere is the second book with Pia Senda, and Diamond Deception is the third. Some other books in my Diamond Backflow, Firestone, and Endland.
