Book Identification Help!

[andrewducker]

It starts with an assassin, who (IIRC) has no memories before a certain point. It ends with a battle of wits on a solar mining platform slowly descending towards the sun and certain death. There's bits of talk about circular theories of society, a bit of time travel, and the main character learns to use his sense in reverse (projecting images from his eyes, for instance).

Anyone ID this? The name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite place it.

The odd part is that it's clearly not Brin's Sundiver, but the description fits in a number of ways

There are only so many ideas to go round :->
