书籍简介:
Fifty years after the events of ALTERED CARBON, Takeshi Kovacs is serving as a mercenary in the Procterate-sponsored war to put down Joshuah Kemp's revolution on the planet Sanction IV. He is offered the chance to join a covert team chasing a prize whose value is limitless — and whose dangers are endless. Here is a novel that takes mankind to the brink. A breakneck-paced crime thriller, ALTERED CARBON took its readers deep into the universe Morgan had so compellingly realised without ever letting them escape the onward rush of the plot. BROKEN ANGELS melds SF, the war novel and the spy thriller to take the reader below the surface of this future and lay bare the treacheries, betrayals and follies that leave man so ill-prepared for the legacy he has been given: the stars. This is SF at its dizzying best: superb, yet subtle, world-building; strong yet sensitive characterisation; awesome yet believable technology, thilling yet profound writing. Richard Morgan is set to join the genre's world-wide elite.
作者简介:
理查德·摩根(1965- )
英国新一代科幻作家的代表,毕业于剑桥大学,主修历史,之后周游世界,从事英语教学工作。2002年《副本》出版以后成为专职作家。
作为科幻作家,理查德·摩根对未来的看法十分悲观。这种观念也许来自他对历史的研究。在一次采访中,他明确表示:“人类社会现在是、过去是、将来也必然是以压迫、剥削大众为目的的存在。”
在这种思想指导下,他的“武·科瓦奇系列”呈现出鲜明的反乌托邦色彩,加上阴郁的色调、飞快的节奏,使这个系列具有强烈的赛博朋克风格。与此同时,该系列又与美国20世纪30年代硬汉派侦探小说十分相似,语言坚硬冷峻,时有隽语,显示出批判的锋芒。
