Broken Angels by Richard K. Morgan

If you came into this thinking "yay, more like Altered Carbon"... well not really. This one is set in a war zone and isn't a detective story. It's not BAD, it's just a completely different story starring the same character.
Some stories take place near a war, and that's the reason for the plot; this one the war is sort of omnipresent and a reminder that our human nature is one of destruction, not discovery.
It *is* hard SciFi however, and my geek for stuff like that is responsible for the fourth star. That and the very "Shadowrun" sort of build-a-team-bankrolled-by-mr-johnson-and-secure-the-hypertech-maguffin plot. Otherwise it's a solid 3-star middle-of-the-road SciFi story.
