book report: Woken Furies
Woken Furies
by Richard K. Morgan
This is the third book in the Takeshi Kovacs series. I apparently haven't reivewed the other two on my blog. The first two are Altered Carbon and Broken Angels.
The setting for this series is far, far in the future, where humanity is scattered across hundreds of plants and everyone has a backup module installed in their brains, allowing their consciousness to be downloaded into new bodies for fun or profit. Our hero Taki wakes up in a new combat-ready body and goes on a voyage to his homeworld. He meets a woman who may or may not be carrying the consciousness of a prophet from the planet's revolutionary past... and Taki becomes entangled with her mission.
All three of these books have been good quality sci-fi. I heard that the movie rights to Altered Carbon have been sold - I think it would make an awesome movie.
