Publisher's Summary

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 manhunt and a battle for survival. And a search for the truth about what was really done with the world's last soldiers....

Thirteen is an unstoppable SF thriller, but it is also a novel about prejudice, about the ramifications of playing with our genetic blueprint. It is about our capacity for violence - but, more worrying, our capacity for deceit and corruption.

This is another landmark of modern SF from one of its most exciting and commercial authors.

Another great detective story with more twists and turns than a bucket of snakes

Another great story with more twists and turns in it in a bucket full of snakes

Could not finish

Narrator’s voice was difficult to listen to. His voices were annoying. And ultimately I could not continue. Very droll and uninspiring.
The story was not well developed. Great concept but lacked any really interesting elements.
Just overall annoying, boring and pointless to waste any more of my time on.
I tried… and failed to be impressed in every aspect.
Definitely no comparison to Altered Carbon….Possible one of my favourites.
