Altered Carbon · 2002
In a future where the mind can be stored on a disc and reloaded into a fresh body, death is just an inconvenience for those who can pay. Takeshi Kovacs, a burned-out ex-soldier, is pulled out of storage and dropped into a new sleeve to solve the death of a man who did not stay dead. Hard-boiled noir welded onto cyberpunk, and the book that won the Philip K. Dick Award.
Broken Angels · 2003
Kovacs has traded detective work for a uniform, fighting someone else's war on a distant colony world. When a chance comes to grab an alien artifact of unimaginable value, he assembles a crew of cutthroats and walks straight into a radioactive deathtrap. A war novel and a treasure hunt with the bleak Kovacs edge.
