Broken Angels by Richard K. Morgan
3.0
This sequel to Altered Carbon was a little disappointing. But it's a relative thing since the first book was so good.
Addendum after reread (via audio book). Might be hard to get TV audience to follow into this story as second season of TV series "Altered Carbon". The first book and TV season are a murder mystery on a future Earth. The only parts that carry over to this book are the cortical stack/sleeve technology and Kovacs himself. Viewers would have to jump from "Blade Runner" like setting to a war torn colony world. And the long dead (?) aliens who are just a bit of background in the first book and TV series are the main focus of "Broken Angels". And Kovacs is in a different sleeve so of course he would be played by a different actor. It would be a bit of stretch for most viewers.
