Framed for murder. Stuck in a simmering battle between man and engineered hybrids. Can a world-weary detective stop his universe from disintegrating?
The Planet Mars. Mal Garrick toes the line. But though the lawman tries to bury his psychological scars and natural empathy while he hauls rogue clones back to fulfill their contracts, his guts tell him not to trust the status quo. And when a shocking crime scene paints him as the prime suspect, he faces an impossible choice: run or fight the system to clear his name.
With his former colleagues on his tail and the truth just out of reach, the determined sleuth allies with a renegade morph to take on an impersonal corporate juggernaut. And as his carefully controlled cynicism cracks, Mal navigates a fractured underground where loyalties are tested, morality is a fragile concept, and violence is eager to boil over.
Is this embattled guardian of justice doomed to become the next casualty in a war that will decide who gets to call themselves human?
Genre: Science Fiction
