Thin Air by Richard Morgan

Thin Air

by Richard Morgan

Richard Morgan has always been one of our most successful SF authors with his fast-moving and brutal storylines, blistering plots and a powerful social conscience behind his work.

And now he's back, with his first SF novel for eight years . . . and it promises to be a publication to remember.

An ex-corporate enforcer, Hakan Veil, is forced to bodyguard Madison Madekwe, part of a colonial audit team investigating a disappeared lottery winner on Mars. But when Madekwe is abducted, and Hakan nearly killed, the investigation takes him farther and deeper than he had ever expected. And soon Hakan discovers the heavy price he may have to pay to learn the truth.

A solid Mars SciFi/Thriller. A return to the Altered Carbon style, if not actual universe. A cynical noir (but I repeat myself), but with utterly convincing world-building about the colonization of Mars and the ugly power structures that come into being.
