Richard K. Morgan's Thirteen is near-future science fiction, quite definitely in the vein of Bladerunner. A failed government program to produce a more violent, aggressive form of military fighter has resulted in the U.S. rounding up almost all of the test subjects and isolating them on Mars, a place where no one with any sense would desire to spend their days. But not every one of the government subjects have been caught and shipped out to Mars. Enter Carl Marsalis, popular man who would like nothing more than to stop killing and put his past behind him-and when he's eventually captured in Miami, it looks like the government might manage his problems for him.Unfortunately, around once a transport from Mars arrives back on earth. The entire crew has been killed by the stowaway who turns out to be one of these violent superhumans-and maybe something worse. Now Marsalis is given a decision: use his heightened powers to look for the killer, or face a fate worse than death.
