That probably only makes sense to our salacious one. So I hope you're reading this. I just came back from sunny south France (changeable north France actually, but shut up) and read Altered Carbon, after seeing your small synopsis and a few glowing reviews. Now half way through the sequel, Broken Angels. And thanks a lot for introducing me to this great author.
Not sure if you've read the second so I'll stick to the first book (apparently Morgan got snapped up for a 3 book deal after Joel Silver of Matrix fame bought AC's rights for $1m). Brilliant. A bit taken aback by the James Bond-ish shag every female character angle, but the plot was very neatly packed, the prose top notch (a fresh change from JK Rowling's chintz obsessed books) and the characters great. Can't wait for the film, I wonder if it would work if they took the whole Envoy conditioning and used it as like a superhero angle.
For some reason I keep seeing Ortega as the mayor from South Park. Hrm.
Anyone else...read Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon very soon.
