Kiedy zawodzi grawitacja

In a decadent world of cheap pleasures and easy death, Marîd Audran has kept his independence the hard way. Still, like everything else in the Budayeen, he's available ... for a price. A new kind of killer roams the streets of the Arab ghetto, a madman whose bootlegged personality cartridges range from a sinister James Bond to a sadistic disemboweler named Khan. And Marîd Audran has been made an offer he can't refuse. The two hundred-year-old godfather of the Budayeen's underworld has enlisted Marîd as his instrument of vengeance. But first Marîd must undergo the most sophisticated of surgical implants before he dares to confront a killer who carries the power of every psychopath since the beginning of time. Wry, savage, and not to be ignored, When Gravity Fails was hailed as a classic by Effinger's fellow SF writers on its original publication in 1987, and the sequence of Marîd Audran novels it began were the culmination of his career.
