      The future isn’t what it used to be since Richard K. Morgan introduced Takeshi Kovacs, a private eye and antihero, in his acclaimed series. In Market Forces, he explored corporate warfare through Chris Faulkner. Now, he presents Carl Marsalis, a hybrid hired gun and man without a country or planet, in a radical reshaping of science fiction. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government, Marsalis represents a new breed of supersoldier, designed for primal aggression and survival. However, the project was abandoned due to public fear, leading to the Thirteens' exile on a desolate Mars colony. Marsalis managed to return to Earth, thriving as a bounty hunter until a police sting landed him in prison, a fate he considers worse than Mars. A new opportunity arises when the government offers him a chance at freedom in exchange for capturing another Thirteen. This fugitive has hijacked a space shuttle and left a bloody trail, making the job perilous. Despite the violence and treachery that await him, Marsalis accepts the challenge, driven by the desire to escape his prison. The real question is whether he can survive the confrontation with his own nature long enough to succeed.

    • Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have.

      Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home... THE DARK DEFILES is a supremely fast moving 240,000 word epic. A massive yet tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.

      Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteren of the wars against the lizards he makes a living from telling credulous travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade. Where he will discover a secret infinitely more frightening than the trade in lives. Archeth - pragmatist, cynic and engineer, the last of her race - is called from her work at the whim of the most powerful man in the Empire and sent to its farthest reaches to investigate a demonic incursion against the Empire's borders. Egar Dragonbane, steppe-nomad, one-time fighter for the Empire finds himself entangled in a small-town battle between common sense and religious fervour. But out in the wider world there is something on the move far more alien than any of his tribe's petty gods. Anti-social, anti-heroic, and decidedly irritated, all three of them are about to be sent unwillingly forth into a vicious, vigorous and thoroughly unsuspecting fantasy world. Called upon by an Empire that owes them everything and gave them nothing. Richard Morgan brings his trademark visceral writing style, turbo-driven plotting and thought provoking characterisation to the fantasy genre and produces a landmark work with his first foray.

      Examining the intersection of anarchism and bio-politics, this book highlights Petr Kropotkin's revolutionary ideas as deeply rooted in contemporary scientific thought. It reveals how Kropotkin viewed health, illness, and societal conditions as central political issues rather than mere metaphors. By framing the state, capitalism, and revolution as medical concerns, he emphasized their measurable impact on individuals and society through social statistics. This innovative perspective offers a fresh understanding of Kropotkin's contributions to anarchist theory.
