}}Black Man (published as Thirteen in North America and later UK editions) is a 2007 science fiction novel by the British author Richard Morgan.[1] It won the 2008 Arthur C. Clarke Award.[2]

Plot

Carl Marsalis is a selectively bred human ("genetic variant") known as a "Thirteen", characterized by high aggression and low sociability. Bred to serve in a military capacity, Thirteens were later confined on reservations or exiled to Mars. Carl, having won by lottery the right to return from Mars, works covertly, tracking down renegade Thirteens.[1]

Related works

Morgan's 2018 novel Thin Air is set in the same reality,[3] with another genetically-modified protagonist[3] but with all the action taking place on Mars.[3]
