Review title: A very worthy second book
Product review: The digitized world of Takeshi Kovacs continues in this very good second novel. Following Altered Carbon is not an easy task, but the author comes through nicely. Envoy trained and from a world surrounded by Martian death machines, Takeshi Kovacs is thrown into a search for a priceless Martian relic. Looking for mercenaries in a "stack" market where shovelfuls of minds are sold by the pail, and the grim business of nuking a city to cover a salvage job really push the boundaries of the Kovacs universe outward. I found a "darwinist" feel to the novel as multiple agencies fight for dominance during a bloody civil war. As a successor to Altered Carbon, Broken Angels twists how I feel about Takeshi, he is not simply a hard-boiled "detective" but a real product of his Quellist upbringing and Envoy military training. I greatly enjoyed the character development of this novel, especially the secondary characters that drive the plot. I can't wait for the next novel from this writer.
