About Broken Angels
Decades after the events of Altered Carbon, Takeshi Kovacs is back in a new sleeve and trapped in another kind of hell: a brutal corporate-backed war on the distant planet Sanction IV. Hired into a covert mission with a prize beyond imagination, Kovacs joins a dangerous expedition to uncover an ancient Martian artefact buried beneath the chaos of battle. But the deeper the team pushes into forbidden alien technology, the more the war around them begins to look like the least of their problems. Betrayal, greed, and old violence follow every step, and Kovacs must decide who can be trusted when every faction wants the same impossible treasure. Gritty, explosive, and fiercely intelligent, Broken Angels fuses military science fiction, noir-edged thriller, and vast space-opera mystery into a hard-hitting sequel to Altered Carbon.
