In Thirteen, Richard K. Morgan radically reshapes and recharges science fiction yet again, with a new and unforgettable hero in Carl Marsalis: hybrid, hired gun, and a man without a country . . . or a planet. Marsalis is one of a new breed. Literally.

Jag älskar Richard Morgan. Fantastiskt bra SF!Action, (=slagsmål o shoot outs), och ändå trovärdigt! Alltid känslosamt och fantastiskt bra mijöer. I den här som heter "The Black Man" i engelsk utgåva, (köp inte båda av misstag!), har USA delat upp sig i the Republic, The Rim State (som går runt Stilla havet) och UN och diverse olika småbitar. Inne i landet ligger the Republic som i vardagslag kallas Jesusland och är rätt outvecklat. Intressant scenario, med genmanipulerade människor och rymdtrafik till Marskolonin i sin linda. Rolig, rolig läsning!!! Rekommenderas!
