Description

In a world of decadence and death, Marid Audrian has maintained his independence through hard-won means. Yet, like everything else in this dark corner of society, he is available - for a price. A new kind of killer stalks the streets, using bootlegged personality cartridges that unleash a range of sinister and sadistic personas. The 200-year-old "godfather" of this underworld has enlisted Marid's services as his instrument of vengeance. But first, Marid must undergo a sophisticated surgical implant to confront the killer who wields the power of every psychopath since time began. This is a story of violence, corruption and the darkest corners of human nature. When Gravity Fails was hailed by fellow science fiction writers on its original publication in 1987 as a groundbreaking work that marked the culmination of George Alec Effinger's career.
