About this listen

 This is high action, ideas driven noir SF of the highest order. Morgan has already established himself as an SF author of global significance.

Takeshi Kovacs has come home. Home to Harlan's World. An ocean planet with only 5 percent of its landmass poking above the dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try and get above the weather in anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky.

And death doesn't just wait for you in the seas and the skies. On land, from the tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything.

Embarked on a journey of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past rise to claim their due. Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead, they say and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage.

"Why change the narrator? I like Dufris for a lot of his other readings but this isn't good, it doesn't do the book any justice at all. He even has Kovacs pronouncing his own name wrong..."

That was my review before they had this excellent concluding part of the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy re-recorded by the same reader as the first two, Mr Tod MclLren is a chap who can actually pronounce the protagonist's name, hence a straight 5-star review for an excellent scifi novel which is easily as good as the first two. Very strongly recommended and not just to competists, there are some magnificent set pieces in here.

Bit of a let down after the first two. !Amended!!

Narrator is awful. clearly no prior research. voice switches between mumbling and shouting. cheesy analogue telephone effects and echo throughout. can't imagine why anyone thought that would be a good idea. It's a good book otherwise. wish I'd read it instead.

great story, terrible narrator

My biggest problem with this book was the echoey memory parts that made this really difficult to listen to.

I don't think the narrator excelled himself in this one but the story is pretty good (not as interesting as the first 2 in the trilogy) and overall it's worth a listen.

Not the best book in the trilogy but still good.

Poor compared to the previous books, the story seems to lack their grit and depth. Disappointing
