Black Man

by Richard Morgan

Jacket Notes:

This stellar new stand-alone from Morgan, known for his compelling future noir thrillers (Altered Carbon, etc.), raises
tantalizing questions about the nature of humanity. Future governments have used genetic manipulation to create subhumans twisted to fit specialized tasks.
Normal people are intrigued as well as repulsed, but they instinctively dread variation thirteen, an aggressive, ruthless throwback to a time before civilization.
When a thirteen escapes from exile on Mars and apparently goes on an insane killing spree, Carl Marsalis, a soul-weary freelance thirteen hit man, is hired
to help track him down.

that begins and ends with examples of one of his specialties, the barely sf story. The award-winning "The Martian Child" (germ of the identically titled
2002 book and forthcoming movie) is nearly straight autobiography, based on Gerrold's adoption of a nine-year-old boy.
