Richard K. Morgan – Broken Angels
Posted by Dirk under: books .
The second Takeshi Kovacs book. This one isn’t quite as much a detective story as the first one. Kovacs is part of a mercenary unit on a planet that is in the middle of a nasty civil war. He is approached by some dude who has knowledge of an archaeological site that has some ancient Martian technology that is probably worth a ton of money and the dude wants Kovacs to help him actualize some profit..
The rest of the book is about how Takeshi approaches a large corporation and sells them the info about this site and helps them put together a team of dead spec ops guys to go to the site and claim it for the corporation. Except of course, there are lots of things that complicate the job.
I liked this book too. It has a lot more military stuff in it than the previous book but that’s cool by me.
I know Morgan has a few more books out but I’m not sure if any of the others are Takeshi Kovacs books. I’ll have to look into that.
