An atmospheric tale of corruption and abduction set on Mars, from the author of the award-winning science fiction novel Altered Carbon, now an exciting new series from Netflix.
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.
