Greg Mandel
Peter F. Hamilton · 3 novels · 2 novellas · 1993–2013
Greg Mandel is a former special-forces soldier with a psychic 'gland' implant for reading emotions, working as a private investigator in a near-future Britain recovering from an authoritarian climate-crisis government. Peter F. Hamilton's original trilogy - Mindstar Rising, A Quantum Murder, The Nano Flower - follows his cases as ordinary detective work keeps sliding into conspiracies with much bigger stakes; The Suspect Genome revisits an older Mandel decades later. It was Hamilton's first fiction, blending noir detective plotting with hard SF.
