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.

Why can this man not pronounce Kovacs?
Drove me absolutely nuts! The story was great but I just couldn't cope with this!

A straight forward combat Misson? Not!
Tak on what seems like his usual finding trouble arc that takes an unexpected set of turns leading him into the future by way of his past..

Bit of a let down after the first two. !Amended!!
"Why change the narrator? I like Dufris for a lot of his other readings but this isn't good, it doesn't do the book any justice at all. He even has Kovacs pronouncing his own name wrong..."
That was my review before they had this excellent concluding part of the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy re-recorded by the same reader as the first two, Mr Tod MclLren is a chap who can actually pronounce the protagonist's name, hence a straight 5-star review for an excellent scifi novel which is easily as good as the first two. Very strongly recommended and not just to competists, there are some magnificent set pieces in here.

One small annoyance
If the narrator had read or heard the previous books in the series he would have known how to pronounce the protagonists name. other than that I enjoyed this

Great final book, wish there were more in the seri
The final book of the Takeshi Kovacs series keeps up the amazing universe created in the previous two, with some amazing new details about the characters in it. Would love to see some map of haarland's world as it's hard to keep track of all the geographical locations

A great story let down by bad production
If you've read the other reviews then you'll get a good idea of where this book is let down.
It cannot be underlined enough just how bad the production on this book was. Ultimately let down by the decisions made by the producer's.
The narrator is not wholly to blame I feel, as there are moments in the story that I felt that his voice suited the scenes and characters rather well. What was apparent was the perhaps free reign he was given in his performance. Some of the characters or situations Kovacs is in are frequently ruined by an over abundance of overacting.
Some people I could easily see enjoying this, as well as the echoing effects and telephone style audio changes. For me however I felt it detracted from the actual story and the weight of the story compared to Todd McLarens depiction of the characters and universe.
The story just to finish up on, should excite and satisfy fans very much. Just like Broken Angels I felt the settings and style was greatly different and refreshing.

good story but the production quality let it down
I enjoyed the story in general, although I'm pretty sure there's a couple of contenders for most awkward sex scene in there. what let it down for me was the "cut scenes". whichever thought it would be a good idea to record these in a tiled bathroom should try listening to this in a car. given that you get your first one shortly after the book starts, I almost returned the book as faulty.

Full of immersion
Having really enjoyed books one and two, I went straight to book three. A change in narrator took some getting used to. Nothing wrong with the performance just odd not to use the same guy who delivered the other books so well. There are connections with the other books but hard to call it a joined up trilogy. If I’m honest I think the first two were better but still a great listen. Amazing imagination, succinctly described and fully immersive. Recommended.
