Richard K. Morgan has received widespread praise for his astounding
twenty-fifth-century novels featuring Takeshi Kovacs, and has
established a growing legion of fans. Mixing classic noir
sensibilities with a searing futuristic vision of an age when death
is nearly meaningless, Morgan returns to his saga of betrayal,
mystery, and revenge, as Takeshi Kovacs, in one fatal moment, joins
forces with a mysterious woman who may have the power to shatter
Harlan's World forever.
Once a gang member, then a marine, then a galaxy-hopping Envoy
trained to wreak slaughter and suppression across the stars, a
bleeding, wounded Kovacs was chilling out in a New Hokkaido bar
when some so-called holy men descended on a slim beauty with
tangled, hyperwired hair. An act of quixotic chivalry later and
Kovacs was in deep: mixed up with a woman with two names, many
powers, and one explosive history.
In a world where the real and virtual are one and the same and the
dead can come back to life, the damsel in distress may be none
other than the infamous Quellcrist Falconer, the vaporized symbol
of a freedom now gone from Harlan's World. Kovacs can deal with the
madness of AI. He can do his part in a battle against biomachines
gone wild, search for a three-centuries-old missing weapons system,
and live with a blood feud with the yakuza, and even with the
betrayal of people he once trusted. But when his relationship with
"the" Falconer brings him an enemy specially designed to destroy
him, he knows it's time to be afraid.
After all, the guy sent to kill him is himself: but younger,
stronger, and straight out of hell.
Wild, provocative, and riveting, Woken Furies is a full-bore
science fiction spectacular of the highest order-from one of the
most original and spellbinding storytellers at work today.
