3 books

Belisarius Arjona is a con artist in a far future where humanity has fractured into genetically engineered subspecies, each adapted to extreme environments and carrying unique cognitive abilities. This series pulls off an audacious heist-in-space premise with rigorous hard SF underpinning — quantum physics, wormhole economics, and engineered consciousness all play starring roles. Think Ocean's Eleven meets Alastair Reynolds, executed with dazzling precision.
