MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES FEB 2018 This must-read story is a
confident, action-and-violence packed thriller, and future classic
noir SF novel from a multi-award-winning author. 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.
