Hay otra novela de ciencia ficción posible, hard boiled, descarnada, dura y salvaje. Como la realidad misma. Y Richard Morgan es, hoy por hoy, su máximo exponente.
La grandeza de "Black Man" parece no tener discusión. Es una novela trepidante, cargada de vitalidad y profundamente original. Un estremecedor testimonio de la violencia, racismo y oscuridad que nos esperan en un futuro no muy lejano, protagonizado por seres que arrastran su dolor y buscan redimir su pasado.. Ésta es su sinopsis
One hundred years from now, and against all the odds, Earth has found a new stability; the political order has reached some sort of balance, and the new colony on Mars is growing. But the fraught years of the 21st century have left an uneasy legacy. Genetically engineered alpha males, designed to fight the century's wars have no wars to fight and are surplus to requirements. And a man bred and designed to fight is a dangerous man to have around in peacetime. Many of them have left for Mars but now one has come back and killed everyone else on the shuttle he returned in. Only one man, a genengineered ex-soldier himself, can hunt him down and so begins a frenetic man-hunt and a battle survival. And a search for the truth about what was really done with the world's last soldiers.
"Black Man", que fue publicada por la editorial británica Gollancz, tiene 640 páginas y puede ser adquirida por un precio de 9,99 libras.
