About this listen

 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.

The TV series has departed from this book by a considerable margin. There are bits and pieces that are the same but it is actually on a much more epic scale.

It promises more information on the “Martians” if that is what they truly are but actually just wets our appetite for more.

Clever plot twists, plenty of thought provoking concepts on what it would be like to live forever.

The book is well read - the narrator keeps us on our toes with a gruff voice.

Can only recommend.

So much more than the Excellent TV Series.

Hats off to Richard Morgan on Takeshi Kovacs second outing! A great mixture of politics, philosophy and psychology with a sprinkle of sex and violence. Absolutely brilliant!

As good if not better than Altered Carbon

More Envoy enhanced adventures this time chasing ancient Martian relics. Rip snorting stuff! Worth the listen if you liked the style of Altered Carbon..

The Takeshi Kovaks saga continues

I loved Altered Carbon, so I’m not sure why but I struggled thought this a bit (no mean feat when all you have to do is listen to someone read to you!) The narrator was great, the story was consistent with the universe created in the first book, but somehow the story seemed to coast along and I found myself not really caring what happened. Morgan’s descriptions are rich and paint a cool setting, there are exciting gory action sequences and some “sexy” scenes too which I found perfectly enjoyable. But ultimately it plodded for me and left no real impression.

All the right ingredients but...

I only bought this audio book because of the TV series, then I saw it was 16 hours. No way I was going to listen to all of that!

How wrong I was! 00% enjoyed every second of it.

The story just got deeper and deeper and is a whole new side/introduction to what happened in the TV series. You truly got inside his mind and felt like you were there. Extremely well narrated too.

Enthralling - 100% enjoyed every second of it
