This is high action, ideas driven noir SF of the highest order.
Morgan has already established himself as an SF author of global
significance. Takeshi Kovacs has come home. Home to Harlan's World.
An ocean planet with only 5% of its landmass poking above the
dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try and get above the weather in
anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian
orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky. And death doesn't
just wait for you in the seas and the skies. On land, from the
tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested
wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist
revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and
the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything. Embarked on a journey
of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off
course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological
mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past
rise to claim their due. Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead,
they say, and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage
young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage ...
