About this product
Product Information
In a decadent world of cheap pleasures and easy death, Marid Audrian has kept his independence the hardway. Still, like everything else in the Budayeen, he' s available... for a price. For a new kind of killer roams the streets of the Arab ghetto, a madman whose bootlegged personality cartridges range from a sinister James Bond to a sadistic disemboweler named Khan. And Marid Audrian has been made an offer he can' t refuse. The 200-year-old " godfather" of the Budayeen' s underworld has enlisted Marid as his instrument of vengeance. But first Marid must undergo the most sophisticated of surgical implants before he dares to confront a killer who carries the power of every psychopath since the beginning of time. Wry, savage, and unignorable, "When Gravity Fails" was hailed as a classic by Effinger' s fellow SF writers on its original publication in 1987, and the sequence of " Marid Audrian" novels it begins were the culmination of his career.
