Angeli spezzati

A very different book from Altered Carbon . And not nearly as good. Is this one of those cases where a successful author isn't subject to as much editorial control? A difference that doesn't bother me is that Broken Angels is more SF and less murder mystery than Altered Carbon . But then there's the re Leggi tutto

This was a fantastic sequel to Altered Carbon. I find Morgan's writing to be super engaging and the story itself delivers a good mix of action, humor, and mystery while still giving the reader plenty of thought-provoking themes to ponder. The setting changed completely for this second instalment. Ta Leggi tutto

El primer libro Leggi tutto

“'I thought that was what religion was. Simplification for the hard of thinking.'He smiled. 'If that is the case, then the hard of thinking seem to be in the majority, do they not?' 'They always are.'” Switching sub-genres and atmosphere like Kovacs switches skin suits! I really admire that Morgan Leggi tutto

I truly didn't have a clue what I was getting into when I started this second book in the Kovacs trilogy. Altered Carbon was a VERY different beast. That being said, we pick up with Kovacs thirty years after his reawakening on Earth and he's far down his lonesome path, giving up on private eye stuff Leggi tutto
