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

Broken Angels is a vastly different book to the first Takeshi Kovacs novel, Altered Carbon. Where Altered Carbon read like a futuristic noir, focusing on a sci-fi murder mystery, the sequel (set fifty years after) reads like military sci-fi with exploration into the evolutionary Martian warfare at t 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

This book is just a punishing read. It checks all the right boxes: Cool future military technology, deadly mercenaries with cynical attitudes, evil corporate execs, radioactive battlefields, deadly nanotech, mysterious and powerful remains of an advanced alien race, double- and triple-crosses, and a Leggi tutto

Una parte di me era morta sulla Terra.Un altro pianeta, un'altra custodia.Cacciai dalla mente una faccia che ricordavo, ahimè, troppo bene e mi guardai attorno, per reimmettermi nel presente.

"Carbono Modificado" presenta a Takeshi Kovacs; "Ángeles rotos" lo lleva a la guerra. El Cyberpunk de la primera novela da paso a la ciencia ficción militar más incendiaria, en la que Morgan demuestra que tiene tanto dominio de los estilos como fundas tiene su personaje más destacado. 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

This is a sequel to Altered Carbon . Even though this is a different type of book I recommend reading the first novel before jumping into this one. In this one we flash forward many years and Tak is fighting in a war. Someone comes up to him with a proposition that he knows where a Martian craft is a Leggi tutto
