Re: Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon

Interesting reviews, Jaqhama.

Richard Morgan is one of my favourate writers at the mo, and for me, Altered Carbon was the best of the three books, with Broken Angels coming in a close second.

I actually agree with you about Woken Furies dragging on for too long. Whilst the previous two books held me rapt through the whole journey, Woken Furies felt a little too much like it had been padded out to hit a pagecount, with a couple of lengthly build-ups that never really did pay off. I still enjoyed it but not the same extent as the previous two novels.

Morgan's taken a break from the Kovachs universe, and I do wonder if he made that choice before or after writing Furies.
