Skinner
Autor Charlie Hustonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2016
Now, a cyber-terrorist attack on the US power grid is about to end that long exile. His asset is Jae, a roboticist with a gift for seeing the underlying systems violently shaping a new era of global guerrilla warfare.
At the root of is all is a young boy, the innocent seed of a plot grown in the slums of Mumbai. Brought to flower, that plot will tip the balance of world power in a perilous new direction.
A combination of Le Carre spycraft with Stephenson techno-philosophy, SKINNER is the triumphant novel that delivers a new kind of thriller for a new kind of world.

Recenzii
PRAISE FOR SKINNER AND CHARLIE HUSTON:
"A thriller for the Edward Snowden Summer . . . Mr. Huston is renowned for making the fantastic believable."—Wall Street Journal
"Skinner is of the moment. . . . While Skinner has its share of bone-crunching fight scenes, Huston channeled [his] anger into a book with a highly complex picture of how people live at opposite ends of the economic spectrum."—Los Angeles Times
"Its fluency with both the world of spies and of high technology, like Olen Steinhauer by way of William Gibson, makes it a gripping read, [and] the humanity Skinner finds in himself is genuinely touching."—USA TODAY
"Mind-bendingly original, from the characters, to the dialogue, to the sensory-overloaded world. A tour-de-force. Add Huston to the A-list."—Booklist (starred review)
"Skinner is an up-to-the-second thriller, combining big ideas, gouts of blood and a fascinating mix of damaged characters."—Cleveland Plain-Dealer

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A high-concept spy thriller that pushes the genre into the 21st century.
'One of the most remarkable prose stylists to emerge from the noir tradition in this century' Stephen King
'Just when you think you've caught up with him on the curve, Charlie Huston drives right off the cliff, landing on a road no one else could see ... shockingly original' NEW YORK TIMES
'Among the new voices in 21st-century crime fiction, Charlie Huston is where it's at' WASHINGTON POST
Skinner wasn't like other boys. He appeared to have no emotions, powered by reason and logic alone. And to the CIA, he's the perfect asset. An assassin they can programme and control.
But now Skinner has been tasked with a new mission. One that will place him at the heart of a deadly conspiracy. Even for an operative with Skinner's off-the-wall skillset, it's a suicide mission. And Skinner begins to wonder if he's become too good at his job for his employers to keep around.
For the first time, Skinner has to decide whose side he's really on. And if the price of his own survival is worth paying.
