Takeshi Kovacs is back on Harlan’s World and working on a path of revenge for the death of a friend. After crossing paths with the Yakuza he decides to hid out for a few months doing some mercenary work cleaning up the battlefield from 300 years ago that is still active due to weapons used. The book deals with the history of Harlan’s World and Quellcrist Falconer and due to resleeving and tech, 300 years isn’t that long ago. Takeshi isn’t the warm cuddly hero in this series but the story is good and the universe detailed and compelling. I would like to see more in this universe even if it isn’t with him as the main character.
