Richard K. Morgan has received widespread praise for his astounding
twenty-fifth-century novels featuring Takeshi Kovacs, and has established
a growing legion of fans. Mixing classic noir sensibilities with a searing
futuristic vision of an age when death is nearly meaningless, Morgan
returns to his saga of betrayal, mystery, and revenge, as Takeshi Kovacs,
in one fatal moment, joins forces with a mysterious woman who may have
the power to shatter Harlan's World forever.

Once a gang member, then a marine, then a galaxy-hopping Envoy trained
to wreak slaughter and suppression across the stars, a bleeding, wounded
Kovacs was chilling out in a New Hokkaido bar when some so-called holy
men descended on a slim beauty with tangled, hyperwired hair. An act
of quixotic chivalry later and Kovacs was in deep: mixed up with a woman
with two names, many powers, and one explosive history.

In a world where the real and virtual are one and the same and the dead
can come back to life, the damsel in distress may be none other than
the infamous Quellcrist Falconer, the vaporized symbol of a freedom
now gone from Harlan's World. Kovacs can deal with the madness of AI.
He can do his part in a battle against biomachines gone wild, search
for a three-centuries-old missing weapons system, and live with a blood
feud with the yakuza, and even with the betrayal of people he once trusted.
But when his relationship with "the" Falconer brings him an enemy specially
designed to destroy him, he knows it's time to be afraid.

After all, the guy sent to kill him is himself: but younger, stronger,
and straight out of hell.

Wild, provocative, and riveting, Woken Furies is a full-bore science
fiction spectacular of the highest order-from one of the most original
and spellbinding storytellers at work today.

"The author's eye for detail and feel for the atmosphere and nuances
of sf noir result in a story packed with action and angst that will
also appeal to general suspense readers. Highly recommended for most
sf and popular fiction collections
