About this listen
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.

Story
From the author of the award-winning Altered Carbon, which is now an exciting new series from Netflix. On a Mars where ruthless corporate interests violently collide with a homegrown independence movement as Earth-based overlords battle for profits and power, Hakan Veil is an ex-professional enforcer equipped with military-grade body tech that's made him a human killing machine. But he's had enough, and all he wants is a ticket back home - which is just what he's offered by the Earth Oversight organization, in exchange for being the bodyguard for an EO investigator.

Marsalis is one of a new breed...literally. Genetically engineered by the U.S. government to embody the naked aggression and primal survival skills that centuries of civilization have erased from humankind, Thirteens were intended to be the ultimate military fighting force. The project was scuttled, however, when a fearful public branded the supersoldiers dangerous mutants, dooming the Thirteens to forced exile on Earth's distant, desolate Mars colony. But Marsalis found a way to slip back.

Story
What do you buy and sell when the global markets reach saturation point? The markets themselves. Thirty years from now the big players in global capitalism have moved on from commodities. The big money is in conflict investment. The corporations keep a careful watch on the wars of liberation and revolution that burn constantly around the world. They guage who the winners will be and sell them arms, intelligence, and power. In return for a slice of the action when the war is won.

Story
Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than 24 hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy. Nax and three other washouts escape - barely - but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats. On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth.

NYPD detective Paul Donner and his wife Elise were killed in a hold-up gone wrong. Fifty years later, Donner is back: revived courtesy of the Shift. Supposedly the unintended side-effect of a botched biological terrorist attack and carried by a ubiquitous retrovirus, the Shift jump-starts dead DNA and throws the life cycle into reverse, so reborns like Donner must cope with the fact that they are not only slowly youthing toward a new childhood, but have become New York's most hated minority.

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.

Annoying Sound Effects
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.

Could US readers PLEASE GET TODDS VERSION?
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...

Morgan ranks as one of SF's all-time greats.
Fitting climax to the best SF series, even better than the Hyperion Cantos! Sad to say farewell to the story of Takeshi Kovacs.

great Story, horrible pronounciation of names
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.

Horrible Narration ruins a good book
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.

A terrible third part of the series.
Firstly, the story was not up there with the first part of the series.
Secondly and more importantly, the performance, or more accurately the editing was atrocious! Very annoying echo and distortion sound effects.
And lastly, if the author makes a point about the correct pronunciation of the protagonists name in the first book, make sure to let the new narrator know...

trying very hard to do little
After a murder mystery and a military drama, Takeshi Kovacs becomes a side character in his own book.
or that's what this book feels like.
Takeshi spends the book going along with other people's decisions while telling us more than we wanted to ever hear about his past, and Harlan's world.
the book is long, so very long, and filled with details that serve no purpose for the story being told and it's frustrating because there are three stories in there that had the potential to be so much more interesting if each had been given its own book instead of being crammed in a book where they don't help the story at all.
a disapointing end to what the series
