Black Man by Richard K. Morgan
4.0
Black Man is another interesting book from Richard Morgan. Although different from his Takesci Kovacs books, it portrays a future world that is as depressing and grim.
It is a world where the U.S. has been split into several independent states (The Pacific Rim, Southern United States aka Jesusland and others), the U.N. is a major military power, Mars has been colonized and the space travel authority (COLIN) has a major military power rivalling that of the U.N. power.
Genetic manipulation has resulted in several anomalies, including "thirteens", namely genetically modified males used for aggressive military actions.
Certainly an interesting book, highly recommended. (The book has been published as The Black Man or Thirteen in two separate editions)
