Cheaper, and it won’t take very long given available technology. However, instead of having his cortical stack scanned and being resleeved, his superiors decide instead to heal his body. He’s part of a military unit called Carrera’s wedge, and the sleeve he’s been given has just been shot up in a fire-fight. This time around Takeshi has been hired as a soldier in a war to stop a rebellious uprising on the far-flung planet of Sanction IV. 🙂 Can you tell how much fun I didn’t have with ALTERED CARBON? lol. Starting to feel like I’m kind of over-selling that point. Still, I can easily say that there’s very little doubt in my mind that someone could pick this book up on it’s own and absolutely enjoy what it has to offer without missing what happened in book one.
Although, some of the concepts and ideas that get bandied about did have some slight part of their genesis in the previous one. The only real connection between the two books is the main character, and in no way does this feel even like a follow-on story to the first. That one had a definite hard-boiled detective feel to it, whereas this one definitely operates within the realm of military science fiction. I mention all this mostly because at no point in this whole process did I think there was going to be any chance that I might actually like this book.īROKEN ANGELS is the second book in the Takeshi Kovacs series and is a significant departure from the first. So I figured, why not grab a quick read and see what came of it? But the opportunity to dive in was quickly afforded me when I was asked to chaperone for a couple days at a girl’s camp my daughter was attending.
So, I picked it up with no real intention to read it any time soon. The thickness of the spine made it look like it was going to be relatively short too. Then, randomly, I found a copy of the second book in the series at one of the second-hand bookstores that I frequent, and the thing was only two bucks. Still I thanked the reader for the comment and proceeded on my merry way. If I’m being completely honest, I wasn’t too high on the idea, as I’ve never really been overly enamored with Richard K. So, a few months ago, one of our readers commented on my review for ALTERED CARBON ( EBR Review) that I should look into the second and third books in this series.
