Story
We all live like we’re famous now, curating our social media presences, performing our identities, withholding those parts of ourselves we don’t want others to see. In this riveting collection of stories from acclaimed author Jess Walter, a teenage girl tries to live up to the image of her beautiful, missing mother. An elderly couple confronts the fiction writer eavesdropping on their conversation.

Story
This is high action, ideas driven noir SF of the highest order. Morgan has already established himself as an SF author of global significance. Takeshi Kovacs has come home. Home to Harlan's World. An ocean planet with only 5 percent of its landmass poking above the dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try to get above the weather in anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky. And death doesn't just wait for you in the seas and the skies.

Now that's how this book should be read.

Todd McLaren is back reading the third book. I don't have a grudge against the previous narrator, but what I heard from the sample and read for the the reviews, this book was a hard pass. Switching narrators in books are for many reasons, but I would like to believe it was a scheduling problem that Todd McLaren couldn't read Woken Furies originally. I would like to thank the person or persons who made the re-recording decision.
The book is just as fantastic as Altered Carbon and Broken Angels. Sit back and enjoy listening to Takeshi Kovacs's snark brought to life with Todd McLaren's narration. If you liked the first two books, you will not be disappointed with the third book. Still makes you think about stacks and re-sleeving, life and death. And there is a lot of action and ass kicking.
