Broken Angels: A Novel (Takeshi Kovacs Novels Book 2)

Richard Morgan's "Altered Carbon" is a thrilling science fiction novel that takes place in a brash, brutal new world of the 25th century.

The story follows Takeshi Kovacs, a former U.N.

envoy turned private eye, who has changed careers and bodies once more.

This time, he's trading sleuthing for soldiering as a warrior-for-hire, helping a far-flung planet's government put down a bloody revolution.

But when a rogue pilot and a sleazy corporate fat cat offer him a lucrative role in a treacherous treasure hunt, he's ready to take on anything - even if it means going AWOL with a band of resurrected soldiers of fortune.

With genetically engineered instincts and trusty twin Kalashnikovs, Takeshi is prepared to face whatever surprises the highly advanced Martian race may have in store.

Will he be able to survive the deadly radiation, unleashed nanotechnology, and other dangers that stand between him and the ancient alien spacecraft? Find out in this gripping and action-packed novel that has been praised for its "cinema-rich world" (USA Today) and "panache and conviction" (SFX magazine).
