Carl Marsalis is a traitor, a bringer of death, a genetic freak and
an unwelcome reminder of all that is dark in the human psyche – he in
every sense of the word a Black Man. And right at the moment he’s beyond
the UN’s juristiction, banged up in a Florida jail for financing an
illegal abortion. So when the US police call, Carl cuts a deal.
Published as Black Man in the UK and Thirteen in North America.
The 13s are genetically engineered alpha males, designed to fight the
century’s last conflicts. But men bred and designed to fight are
dangerous to have aroundin peacetime. Many of them have left for Mars,
but one has returned. Somehow he survived the journey to Earth, and now a
series of brutal slayings has erupted across America. Only Carl can
stop him.
And so begins a frenetic man hunt and a battle for survival. And a
search for the truth about what was really done with the world’s last
soldiers.
