Broken Angels : Book 2

The extraordinary new novel from one of the brightest stars of British SF takes mankind to the brink of a terrifying secret.

Fifty years after the events of ALTERED CARBON, Takeshi Kovacs is
serving as a mercenary in the Procterate-sponsored war to put down
Joshuah Kemp's revolution on the planet Sanction IV. He is offered the
chance to join a covert team chasing a prize whose value is limitless --
and whose dangers are endless. Here is a novel that takes mankind to
the brink.

A breakneck-paced crime thriller, ALTERED CARBON took
its readers deep into the universe Morgan had so compellingly realised
without ever letting them escape the onward rush of the plot. BROKEN
ANGELS melds SF, the war novel and the spy thriller to take the reader
below the surface of this future and lay bare the treacheries, betrayals
and follies that leave man so ill-prepared for the legacy he has been
given: the stars. This is SF at its dizzying best: superb, yet subtle,
world-building; strong yet sensitive characterisation; awesome yet
believable technology, thilling yet profound writing. Richard Morgan is
set to join the genre's world-wide elite.
