Broken Angels (Vol. 2 Altered Carbon)

The second book in the thrilling science fiction saga that inspired the Netflix series Altered Carbon. Welcome back to the brave, brutal new world of the 25th century, where global politics isn't limited to Earth and death is merely a setback, thanks to the technological miracle that preserves human consciousness and downloads it into new bodies. Takeshi Kovacs—a cynical, trigger-happy former UN Envoy—has switched professions, and bodies, once again. Now hired as a mercenary, his duty is to help a planetary government suppress a violent revolution on a distant land. Kovacs, however, is truly on no one's side but his own. So when a defector pilot makes him a lucrative offer, he doesn't hesitate to abandon the battlefield and embark on a treacherous treasure hunt. All that stands between him and his target, an ancient alien ship, are a radiation-soaked city, murderous nanotechnology, and whatever surprises the ultra-advanced Martian civilization may have left behind. But armed with his genetically engineered instincts and dual Kalashnikov assault rifles, Kovacs is ready for anything that comes his way.
