Re: Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon

Ok..Book Two Broken Angels...

I liked this more than the first book (Altered Carbon).
It's a small unit military/exploration adventure with new alien technology as the prize that everyone else want's to discover first.
Not as convulted as the first book, but still enough plot twists to keep the reader interested.
Still lots of action and adventure and still lots of gore and violence. But hey, that's my kinda reading.
Anyone who liked the movie Aliens Two with the Colonial Space Marines is sure to enjoy Broken Angels.
I won't give the story/plot line away any more than I already have done, save to say that I read Broken Angels a lot quicker than Altered Carbon because one wants to know what happens next.
Recommended for lovers of fast paced of Sc-fi action, with more elegant writing, thought provoking suggestions, ideas and statements than one might normally find in a military sci-fi novel.

Looking forward to reading book three shortly: Woken Furies.

Cheers: Jaq.
