The Mutants: An Adventure in the Depths

About this book

In Newhaven, survival depends less on written law than on the ability to disappear beneath cold neon light. Officer Ahmed Ayoub believes discipline can hold the city's chaos in check, until mysterious beings known as the Four Shadows emerge from forbidden experiments and begin defending the society that denied their existence. At the same time, the masked crime lord Ouroboros turns every alliance into a move on a lethal chessboard. With an investigative journalist following the truth and betrayal reaching the highest levels of security, Ayoub must confront a disturbing possibility: the monsters he hunts may be the city's last line of defense. This science-fiction thriller combines action with a searching examination of honor and conscience.
