It's a war book that does not glamorize violence in any way, and the writer has given some thought about the way war would look like in his future. Finally, if you see a review complaining about "half-wolf sleeves," they've definitely not read the book. I would give an arm and a leg NOT to be in anything that Takeshi Kovacs considers his pack. Review: 'Broken Angels' is the second outing for Envoy-trained Takeshi Kovacs and is an absolutely rip-roaring continuation from the original 'Altered Carbon'. The plot unwinds with breath-taking speed; the action comes fast and furious, bolstered by excellent levels of technological details and character descriptions. Yet Morgan's second outing has met with a fair amount of criticism leveled at under-developed ideas or poor style. Both criticisms are unfair and miss the point of what the novel is trying to achieve. 'Altered Carbon' introduced us to ideas of sleeving, cortical stacks and humans being decanted into either real or virtual worlds. Morgan takes this much further in 'Broken Angels' and asks us to think about what will happen to human beings who live at the interface of technologcal developments, and how that technology will affect both what we are as persons as well as our own sense of who we are. The brilliance of 'Broken Angels' is that he asks us these questions via the characters who are working at and in extreme situations where the rules of who we are are constantly being redrawn all the time. And he does it by using the Martians (the Broken Angels of the title) as a mirror of civilisation so far ahead of us, yet still seemingly sharing the same weaknesses and vices. This is the clue to the style and why he sometimes writes in very short, staccato sentences. As some reviewers have noted he does. Sometimes write. Like. This. But all you have to do is look closely; he only does it when people are speaking. And usually, he only does it when people are speaking under incredibly stressful circumstances or life and death situations. In these situations, people rarely speak in complete sentences. They speak short, quick-fire and often incomplete sentences. This is what Morgan does here - his writing mirrors the reality of the way we speak when stressed and the characters are much more realistic because of it. All in all, this book is a welcome return for Kovacs. The character is so much more developed and, for once, we get to see the man's inner thoughts and processes which helps us understand quite how he does what he does and how future genetic conditioning can take human beings in all sorts of unexpected directions. Brilliant, insightful, and highly entertaining. Well worth every penny. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #119,845 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,178 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery #4,637 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #8,364 in Literary Fiction | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (610) | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 3.4 x 19.2 cm | | Edition | New Ed | | ISBN-10 | 0575081252 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0575081253 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | 4 September 2008 | | Publisher | Gollancz | ## Images ![Broken Angels: Netflix Altered Carbon book 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vA2udDrzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 14 April 2017* Broken Angels expands the post-cyberpunk universe of Altered Carbon and shows us other parts of it that we saw only in flashbacks in the last book.
