Broken Angels by Richard K Morgan

The second novel in the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy, this is yet another example of Morgan’s innovative SF noir. The writing’s tight, the action is brutal, the tech is cool, and the general sensibility is that even if you’re a supersoldier from the future who is effectively immortal, you can’t run away from your actions.

If you enjoyed Altered Carbon you’ll enjoy this too.
