"This is writing with the brakes off and the adrenaline pumped to high" - Liz Holiday, SCI-FI NOW

"... a cracking thriller which achieves the tricky sci-fi balancing act ... feeling relevant and accessible" - Amazon Reviewer

One hundred years from now, against all odds, Earth has found a new stability; the political order has reached a tentative balance, and the new colony on Mars is growing. But the fraught years of the 21st century have left an uneasy legacy ...

As genetically engineered alpha males, Thirteens were designed to be the ultimate military fighting force but, with no wars to fight, they find themselves surplus to requirements. Many of the Thirteens have left for Mars, but now one has returned, killing everyone on the shuttle on which he arrived.

Only Carl Marsalis, one of the Thirteen, can hunt him down. So begins a frantic manhunt, a battle of survival, and a search for the truth about what was really done with the world's last soldiers.

THIRTEEN (previously published as BLACK MAN) is an unstoppable SF thriller about the ramifications of playing with genetic blueprints. It is also a novel about prejudice, and the human capacity for violence, deceit and corruption.

If you dont mind the "Language" and see it for what it is. This is a brilliantly written story that checks all the boxes for genre fans.

A Classic.

What was most disappointing about Richard Morgan’s story?

This story would be better in a print version for a teenager looking for masturbation material.

Cheap sex interupted by a poor story
