Description
Four hundred years into interstellar space, humanity has colonised a region inherited from an ancient Martian civilisation. Digital consciousness is transferred between stars and downloaded into new bodies as a matter of course.
Ex-envoy Takeshi Kovacs finds himself in the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug, with a catch-22 offer to discover who murdered his last body. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that reaches across known space and into the heart of society.
A gripping thriller from a masterful storyteller, Altered Carbon is a tale of action, violence and intrigue set in a richly detailed science fiction world.
