Özet
 NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN

Hakan Veil is an ex-corporate enforcer equipped with military-grade body tech that's made him a human killing machine. 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 he's had enough of the red planet, and all he wants is a ticket back home - which is just what he's offered by the Earth Oversight organization, in exchange for being the bodyguard for an EO investigator. It's a beyond-easy gig for a heavy hitter like Veil . . . until it isn't.

When Veil's charge starts looking into the mysterious disappearance of a lottery winner, it stirs up a hornet'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 it's the expert assassin poised against powerful enemies hellbent on taking him down - by any means necessary.

Praise for Thin Air

'Kick-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' Los Angeles Times

'Richard Morgan wants to destroy your Mars fantasies . . . It's a grim vision, but one that Morgan finds far more plausible than the cheerful visions of plucky Mars colonists common in sci-fi' Wired

'A robotically enhanced Jack Reacher [in a] dazzlingly intricate game of political double- and triple-cross, spiced with tastily kinetic battle sequences' The Guardian

'If you ever imagined that the core esthetics and themes of cyberpunk-lowlifes and high tech; corporate dominance; future noir; post-human evolution and cyborg adaptations; hardscrabble urban environments-were played out, Thin Air will set you straight, and kick your butt in the process. . . . Both kinematic and cinematic, [Thin Air is] limned by Morgan with balletic precision and smashmouth grace' Paul Di Filippo, Locus

Eleştirmen yorumları

Super fluid action thriller... amped-up Chandler in space.
A hugely entertaining and smartly written book.
A sheer pyrotechnic triumph: wonderfully imaginative, written in overdrive, mercilessly violent... A twisted conundrum and a hell of a ride!

A beautifully performed hard boiled stew of Hammet and Alastair Reynolds. What can you do?

Richards on form...

Story was great, as usual from the author. Gritty, sarcastic, violent. But the narrator made it come to life in all the right ways. The story needed an Anglo-Saxon tone to properly deliver the sarcasm and the narrator delivered in full.

Excellent narrator

Hold on to your hats, face paced, plot twist after twist with Morgans amazing descriptive style and depiction of a future that seems all to relevant and real.

Another cracking Richard K Morgan tale.

Authors are integrating Augmented Reality with rapidity i've noticed, and this book gets it totally right. To much sex though, i had to fast forward various sections it was painful to listen to. Great narration, would listen to more of this guy, do more sci-fi !!

Great tech

Martian politics and the desire to return to Earth make this a really interesting read. I love the tension between the colonial Martians and others who feel they are from a better place. It would be great to read more about the situation beyond this story.

There are some slower sections but the pacing really heightens the more intense parts of the book. Just soak it all in.

This is great
