Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
Compared to James Ellroy for its brutal intensity and to Raymond Chandler for its style and characterisation, this future-crime novel is a breathtakingly fast and violent thriller that carries a weight of ideas and speculative science with graceful ease. In Takeshi Kovacs it introduces a brooding new hero who propels the vivid strength, violence and singularity of purpose of James Ellroy's best characters into the 26th century.
Richard Morgan is 39 and was, until his writing career took off, a tutor at Strathclyde University in the English Language Teaching division. He has travelled widely and lived in Spain and Istanbul. He is a fluent Spanish speaker.
