About this product
Product Information
Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded into bodies as a matter of course. But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn't be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society. For a first-time SF writer to be so surely in command of narrative and technology, so brilliant at world-building, so able to write such readable and enjoyable SF adventure, is simply extraordinary.Product Identifiers

Great printing. Fun engaging story. Well recommend at the price, seems a bargain!
Great quality print for the price. Not top drawer but certainly well presented and very well packaged. The first novel, Altered Carbon, was pretty faithfully done by Netflix! Reading the book, I am very surprised just how closely they stuck to the book. Its not William Gibson, by any stretch, but its entertaining and accessible. It kinda reminds me of the Philip Marlowe jaunt. If you enjoy cyberpunk and want something a bit more mainstream in appeal that has a decent paced and entertaining plot, without all the impenetrable jargon and scene setting, give this a spin (ha ha). At this price, for 3 chunky novels, its amazing value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
