Richard Morgan spins Takeshi Kovacs into another world, this time a world at war, in Broken Angels.
Where Altered Carbon felt more Philip K. Dick meets Raymond Chandler, Broken Angels feels more like the movie Alien meets a really violent Indiana Jones tale set thousands of years in the future. For Morgan, though, the menace is (mostly) human. I found myself making time to finish this book, which is always a good sign.
