Publisher's Summary
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 2nd book is always better
For some reason I enjoyed this more than the first book in the series. Maybe the author had more time to expand on characters and motivations. While the first book was a detective story set in the future. This book is more like a space Opera with it's competing groups of characters and allegiances.

Learn to pronounce Maori please
I mean you could at least google for an audio pronunciation if you are going to read audio books for a living. Story was great, reading was grating.

10 times better than the TV show
Having watched the shows first and then the books, I can confirm that season 2 of the series completely ignored this book and this is why the show was cancelled.If they followed the book then things would've been much better from the perspective of the story, instead of this b-grade sci-fi series that was season 2.
This story is more along the lines of an expedition into alien territory than a typical cyber punk like season 1. Has influence from the movie Aliens I believe.

Amazing Sequel
Broken Angels really continues the story of Kovac amazingly. It’s a must read for anyone that has even the slightest bit of interest in Sci Fi.

Better than the first
The sex scene is worthy of being nominated for one of the most awful the year it was published, but otherwise the story chugs along well enough. The reader can't pronounce Maori, though.

Pretty good
Generally a good paced tome. Less involved than Altered Carbon; more of straight-line plot-wise.
Only serious gripe is the narrator’s pronunciation of Maori (which he renders May-or-ee) and the accent he gives that character (who sounds Indian Raj , kinda). Both are so grating as to be offensive. Such a shame as otherwise I like the narrotor’s characterisations. All he (and the audible editors) needed to do was google a pronunciation guide and watch Temuera Morrison in the Star Wars movies...

awful sound
a different narrator from the first two books, no where near as emotive. and the sound is like it's been recorded in a bathtub, which is such a shame

Could have been 25% shorter
I found the book to be very slow to start and very slow to finish. Glad I bought it on sale.
