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. On land, from the tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything.

Embarked on a journey of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past rise to claim their due.

Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead, they say, and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage.

Periodically this audiobook makes use of annoying sound effects on the speakers voice. If you have background noise from sitting in public transport or have a hard time with English because it isn’t your native language I would say you should probably read the book instead. Story is good and fleshes out the universe of Takeshi Kovacs even more but at this point I reckon it’s mostly appealing to fans of the series.

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.

Now that's how this book should be read.

Fitting climax to the best SF series, even better than the Hyperion Cantos! Sad to say farewell to the story of Takeshi Kovacs.

Morgan ranks as one of SF's all-time greats.

It's a little long in the tooth but eventually gets there. Space James Bond at his finest.

Ok end to the trilogy

LOVED the McLaren reads! The Dufris read is GARBAGE! give us the good one!

Todd McLaren read the first two books, then someone made the abysmal decision to have bob the builder read the third book and it sucked. He phones in the entire book, can't possibly care less about the world or what he's reading and is obviously impressed with himself enough to add reverb for "dramatic purposes". It was SO BAD that people pushed for Todd McLaren to re-read it. and he did.

UK readers and readers from many countries outside of the US received a free swap from the garbage to the gold. US readers can't even pay full price for it.


Amazon also made it damned near impossible to get it unless we travel to a different country to buy it using a prepaid card from the UK or wherever. You can't simply use a VPN or something similar to change where you appear to be coming from...

long story short - I've requested again and again and AGAIN that they add this version for US Readers but they've never even bothered to respond...

Could US readers PLEASE GET TODDS VERSION?

The book is great, I loved the whole series. The only problem with this book is the pronounciation of the main Character's name. The first book makes a major point about how Kovács is pronounced. He draws conclusions from it. It is correct in the second book, too, but this third one is read by a different narrator and he just uses the wrong pronounciation throughout. Quite anoying.
Still it is worth listening to the book. But if it is ever rerecorded, get the new version.

great Story, horrible pronounciation of names

I ended up buying the writen ebook so I can finish the story without having to listen to the narrator butcher Kovacz name all the time, and this was one of the minor issues with the performance. Skip this one and read the book instead.

Horrible Narration ruins a good book

I cannot listen to this.
The reader is so bad. Pronounces words incorrectly. Drives me insane.

Reader no good at all

Why did they have to use these ANNOYING Effects? Totally spoiled it for me... Flashbacks sound like someone calling you from the bathroom.

Story okay... Not as good as the First one.

REALLY ANNOYING Sound Effects

I really enjoyed the first two books int he series, and the narration in those was great. But when I started this I thought my phone was broken as it sounds like it was recorded in a toilet. That passes after a chapter, but then comes and goes throughout the book.

The story itself is just not of the same caliber as the first two books - to the point that it feels like it was written by someone else - but the narration just sinks it. I pushed through on a series of flights when I had nothing else to do, but this is not a good audiobook.

Story is poor, but the narration is horrible
