Noir like Blade Runner, but in the same universe as Murderbot. Or even Expanse. And more graphic in every way than either of those. Overall a fun read.
I don't remember how I heard about this book, but I remember thinking that it sounded good. And it was. It's basically the same as Altered Carbon, in a positive way. Washed-out special ops guy solves some crazy scheme, has a lot of sex and saves the day. Veil's overrider thing, having to go into hibernation four months out of twelve, reminds me of the sleeving in Altered Carbon. Although, of course, that had a lot more societal impact. Overall I'd say Thin Air is the methadone to Altered Carbon's heroin. I guess that makes me the junkie who's mainlining this crazy sci-fi action. And I think I can live with that.
Solid post-cyberpunk action-thriller.
