Sinopsis
One hundred years from now, and against all the odds, Earth has found a new stability; the political order has reached some sort of balance, and the new colony on Mars is growing. But the fraught years of the 21st century have left an uneasy legacy ...Genetically engineered alpha males, designed to fight the century's wars have no wars to fight and are surplus to requirements. And a man bred and designed to fight is a dangerous man to have around in peacetime. Many of them have left for Mars but now one has come back and killed everyone else on the shuttle he returned in. Only one man, a genengineered ex-soldier himself, can hunt him down and so begins a frenetic man-hunt and a battle survival. And a search for the truth about what was really done with the world's last soldiers. BLACK MAN is an unstoppable SF thriller but it is also a novel about predjudice, about the ramifications of playing with our genetic blue-print. It is about our capacity for violence but more worrying, our capacity for deceit and corruption. This is another landmark of modern SF from one of its most exciting and commercial authors.

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condición: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. Cover Art: www_photos_com Ilustrador. 1st Edition. © 2007: A stand-alone novel by Richard Morgan. 1st edition, 1st printing. Two pages ( bizarrely split printed:- Synopsis: One hundred years from now, and against all odds, Earth has found a new stability; the political order has reached some sort of balance, globalised commercial interdependence and co-operative co-existence are the order of the day, and a new nanotech-aided colony on Mars is growing. But the fraught years of the 21st century have left an uneasy genetic legacy. The failed results of science's early excursions into twisting the human genome to advantage now live among us as barely tolerated variant outcasts - licensed, monitored and cordially despised. Sevgi Ertekin, ex-NYPD homicide detective turned security executive for the colony corporations, is no stranger to the issues surrounding human variants. But when a Variant 13, a genetically engineered hyper-male cultured to fight the century's last conflicts, survives a mysterious crash landing in mid-ocean and a series of brutal slayings erupts across America, she discovers that sometimes you can only fight fire with fire. Carl Marsalis, a gene-engineered ex-soldier himself, hunts down rogue hyper-males for the UN. It's not an easy gig; he's hated and feared by his former fellow 13s as a traitor and a bringer of death, and by the rest of humanity as a genetic freak and an unwelcome reminder of all that is dark in the human psyche - he is, in every sense of the word, the Black Man. And at the moment he's beyond even UN jurisdiction or help, banged up in a Florida jail for intent to procure an abortion. So when Sevgi comes calling, Carl is only too ready to cut a deal. And so begins a frenetic man-hunt and a battle for survival. And a search for the truth about what was really done with the world's last soldiers. 'Black Man' is an unstoppable SF thriller but it is also a novel about prejudice, about the ramifications of playing with our genetic blue-print. It is about our capacity for violence but more worrying, our capacity for deceit and corruption. This is another landmark of modern SF from one of its most exciting and internationally successful authors:- (original cost £14.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 12.002.00024
