Woken Furies: Netflix Altered Carbon | Richard Morgan
9 posts | 18 read | 12 to read
This is high action, ideas driven noir SF of the highest order. Morgan has already established himself as an SF author of global significance. Takeshi Kovacs has come home. Home to Harlan's World. An ocean planet with only 5% of its landmass poking above the dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try and get above the weather in anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky. And death doesn't just wait for you in the seas and the skies. On land, from the tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything. Embarked on a journey of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past rise to claim their due. Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead, they say, and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage ...

#doublespin done - I struggled with this - it felt way too long and every time I thought we were reaching a conclusion some other twist happened which just left me confused and bored. Which is a shame cos I really enjoyed the forest in this trilogy, and they‘ve just gotten progressively worse. Hey ho!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 8mo

This is definitely the weakest of the trilogy and kind of a disappointing ending. I liked the setting, the new tech, and the overall story, but everything else was a let down comparatively. 2 separate plots mashed into one book, lots of casual misogyny (fridging is the whole basis for this book), an unoriginal religious angle, and an underused double sleeve. It feels like all my complaints in the first 2 books were dumped into this one. 3/5 ⭐️

This is the 3rd book in the Takeshi Kovacs books the spawned the Altered Carbon Netflix series. It's a better book than the middle second one and the main inspiration behind the 2nd season of the Netflix show. One more trilogy completed for me.

This third book dragged a bit. I still enjoyed the setting, but the story was weak.

The Takeshi Kovacs trilogy kicks off with Altered Carbon (coming soon to a Netflix near you) and takes place in a distant future where you can store your personality and upload it into the body of your choice.

In Woken Furies, book 3, Takeshi goes up against a younger and more ruthless copy of himself uploaded into a different body.

Each book in this trilogy is a different flavor of sci-fi. All are great. #MyOwnWorstEnemy #90sinJuly

SpeculativeFemale I had trouble getting into this series the first time, but I think I need to give it a second try. 7y
ReadingEnvy I think I heard they were making this into a series or movie and it would be pretty interesting since they could have a bunch of actors playing the main character... 7y
Nostromo One of my favourites. I have a signed copy. 7y
