Über diesen Titel

 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.

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 K. 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 Abenteuer Action & Abenteuer Fantasy Naturwissenschaften Science Fiction Technothriller Thriller

Great book and utterly amazing speaker, the voice of whom fits the noir genre like a glove.

Amazing

What you expect from a noir novel in a grim, futuristic world.
There is a lone wolf protagonist, sexy times and grim, grim violence. The future tech fits in seamlessly.
The voice actor is a perfect fit.

Gritty Noir Cyberpunk

Honestly, the book was tiresome. I had to force myself to finish it and often struggled to understand where the protagonist was and what was happening. The characters didn't interest me at all and the story was mediocre and dragged on forever. The detailed but repetitive world description and tech jargon certainly didn't help.
Also, what's with the weird, endless sex scenes? Probably some amount of cis het dudes find that engaging, but all it did for me was make me cringe.

Unspectacular and a bit icky
