 Carl Marsalis is a traitor, a bringer of death, a genetic freak and an unwelcome reminder of all that is dark in the human pysche - and he is, in every sense of the word, a Black Man. And right at the moment he's beyond the UN's jurisdiction, banged up in a Florida jail for financing an illegal abortion. So when the US police call, Carl cuts a deal.
The 13's are genetically modified alpha males, designed to fight the century's ;last conflicts. But men bred and designed to fight are dangerous to have around in 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.

Note: USA couldn't cope with the original title so renamed it Thirteen by Richard K Morgan
