Perfect for you if...

  • You want hard-boiled noir with actual stakes, set against a Mars that's corrupt, violent, and nothing like the utopian colony stories you've read.
  • You loved Altered Carbon but haven't explored Morgan's standalone work yet, and you're hungry for that same blend of body modification, brutal action, and sharp writing.
  • You appreciate thrillers that unfold through political intrigue and murder rather than relying on twists alone, with a protagonist who solves problems through skill and violence.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for optimistic science fiction or uplifting stories about humanity's future. This Mars is a corporate hellscape where nobody wins clean.
  • You prefer quieter, character-driven narratives over kinetic action sequences and tactical combat. Morgan doesn't slow down for introspection.
  • You dislike graphic violence or explicit content. Veil's work is brutal and the book doesn't flinch away from showing it.

About this book

Hakan Veil is an ex-corporate enforcer with military-grade body modifications who has been abandoned on Mars by his former employers. The planet is dominated by Earth-based overlords competing for profit and power while a local independence movement gains strength. Desperate to leave Mars, Veil accepts an offer from the Earth Oversight organization to serve as bodyguard for one of their investigators in exchange for passage home. What should be a straightforward assignment becomes complicated when Veil's charge begins investigating the disappearance of a lottery winner. This inquiry uncovers layers of intrigue and murder, drawing Veil deeper into a dangerous game where long-buried secrets surface. As powerful enemies move against him, Veil finds himself in a high-stakes conflict on the Martian surface.
