Thirteen

Futuristic thriller explores genetic engineering consequences.

If you're fascinated by the moral quandaries of genetic engineering and how they might shape our future, "Thirteen" by Richard Morgan is a book you won't want to miss. It's not just about the action—in this nail-biting thriller, you'll dive deep into themes of prejudice and the darker aspects of human nature. Morgan's gripping narrative doesn't just tell a story; it challenges you to think about the outcomes of humanity's pursuit of perfection.

Description

Carl Marsalis is a traitor, a bringer of death, a genetic freak and an unwelcome reminder of all that is dark in the human psyche – he is in every sense of the word a Black Man. And right at the moment he’s beyond the UN’s jurisdiction, banged up in a Florida jail for financing an illegal abortion. So when the US police call, Carl cuts a deal. The 13s are genetically engineered alpha males, designed to fight the century’s last conflicts. But men bred and designed to fight are dangerous to have around in peacetime. Many of them have left for Mars, but one has returned. Somehow he survived the journey to Earth, and now a series of brutal slayings has erupted across America. 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.
