Thin Air: A Novel

Thin Air: A Novel

An atmospheric tale of corruption and abduction set on Mars, from the author of the award-winning science fiction novelÂ Altered Carbon,Â now an exciting new series from Netflix.
Â
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYÂ THE GUARDIAN
Â
Hakan Veil is an exâ€“corporate enforcer equipped with military-grade body tech thatâ€™s made him a human killing machine.Â His former employers have abandoned him on a turbulent Mars where Earth-based overlords battle for profits and power amid a homegrown independence movement. But heâ€™s had enough of the red planet, and all he wants is a ticket back homeâ€”which is just what heâ€™s offered by the Earth Oversight organization, in exchange for being the bodyguard for an EO investigator. Itâ€™s a beyond-easy gig for a heavy hitter like Veil . . . until it isnâ€™t.
Â
When Veilâ€™s charge starts looking into the mysterious disappearance of a lottery winner, it stirs up a hornetâ€™s nest of intrigue and murder. And the deeper Veil is drawn into the game, the more long-buried secrets claw their way to the Martian surface. Now itâ€™s the expert assassin poised against powerful enemies hellbent on taking him downâ€”by any means necessary.

Praise forÂ Thin Air
Â
â€œKick-ass . . . Mixed in with the thriller-esque action and cyberpunk backdrop is a hard-boiled noir story complete with a twisting and turning plot that keeps readers on their toes.â€â€”Los Angeles Times
Â
â€œRichard K. Morgan wants to destroy your Mars fantasies. . . . Itâ€™s a grim vision, but one that Morgan finds far more plausible than the cheerful visions of plucky Mars colonists common in sci-fi.â€â€”Wired
Â
â€œA robotically enhanced Jack Reacher [in a] dazzlingly intricate game of political double- and triple-cross, spiced with tastily kinetic battle sequences.â€â€”The Guardian
Â
â€œIf you ever imagined that the core esthetics and themes of cyberpunkâ€”lowlifes and high tech; corporate dominance; future noir; post-human evolution and cyborg adaptations; hardscrabble urban environmentsâ€”were played out,Â Thin AirÂ will set you straight, and kick your butt in the process. . . . Both kinematic and cinematic, [Thin AirÂ is] limned by Morgan with balletic precision and smashmouth grace.â€â€”Paul Di Filippo,Â Locus
