Lies are a precious currency-you have to be careful how and where you spend them. This also applies to Thin Air, so if you’ve read other novels by Morgan, you will find yourself in rather familiar territory, and whether or not you like this kind of approach is entirely up to you. When it comes to Morgan, from what I’ve observed he prefers to take the opposite route for the most part, sticking with one structure and instead varying the elements around it, as if trying to create the one perfect story. Some writers prefer to cast their nets far and wide, trying out new ideas, structures, genres, and so on and so forth. To begin with, I think it’s important to take a moment and discuss Richard K. The further he looks into it, the deeper the mystery becomes, and soon it becomes apparent some great sacrifices will be required to learn the kind of truth he could have never imagined himself. Seems like a fairly routine job, minus the lack of leads, but soon enough things take a turn for the worse as the team find themselves attacked, Madekwe gets kidnapped, and Hakan is nearly killed himself.ĭriven by an impregnable sense of duty and focus on his task, Hakan puts his enhanced capabilities to the biggest test in his life, beginning his own investigation into what exactly is happening on this planet. The story is centred on Hakan Veil, a bodyguard Madison Madekwe who is part of a colonial audit team sent to Mars for a relatively simple task: to find a lottery winner who was reported to have mysterious disappeared.

Morgan, and he does so once again in Thin Air. It seems one of the more common repeating motifs is the idea of technologically-enhanced humans, and few authors have explored this idea as much as Richard K.

After all, humanity has never experienced this quick of a development in the entirety of its history, and we’ve already had plenty of glimpses into both the wonders and terrors new technology might bring. With the recent surge in progress around digital technology, I think we can all understand the correlating rise in science-fiction and cyberpunk literature.
