	Broken Angels by Richard K. Morgan
		In his first novel, Altered Carbon, British author Richard K. Morgan introduced us to Takeshi Kovacs, a former "Envoy", one of an elite corps of shock troops, highly trained and technologically enhanced, whose job is to maintain peace among the various planets of the Protectorate.
		In Broken Angels, we see Kovacs in his element, with all the weapons, technology and death he could ask for.
		Broken Angels is an excellent sophomore effort; not as fresh or compelling as Altered Carbon (which sets a very high standard), but still a ripping good read.

	Broken Angels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As Broken Angels opens, Takeshi Kovacs is a lieutenant in humankind's most feared mercenary company, but rumors of an astonishing archaelogical discovery inspire his desertion.
		Review: BROKEN ANGELS (2003) is a story about a mercenary soldier who is involved in a planetary revolution on a fairly newly-colonized planet, who gets involved with a scheme to claim ownership of an advanced alien artifact with potentially huge military significance.
		While the level of voilence in BROKEN ANGELS is similar to what I encountered in another of the author's stories (MARKET FORCES), I found that the voilence was more urbane to the story, and not just thrown in because it was "time for more voilence".

	Angels In Broken Bodies, Broken Angels, Broken Indigos, Autism, Indigo Kids
		Broken Indigos don't usually come in pretty "wrappings" and their special talents are obscured.
		There are Broken Indigos who come with special gifts of superior intelligence and/or athletic abilities; some may have higher psychic, intuitive, healing, telepathic or manifesting skills; others may have an unusual knack for art, music, writing, singing, dancing or other creative expression.
		Broken Indigos - the angels in broken bodies - may represent an unprecedented crisis; nevertheless, the positive growth and change initiated by their presence is helping to shape a much healthier and happier world to come.

	Review of Broken Angels by Richard Morgan
		Set 30 years after Altered Carbon, Broken Angels follows the mercenary Takeshi Kovacs as he takes advantage of the cover of a corporate-run war to try to capture the most significant alien artifact ever uncovered.
		In the Broken Angels future, humanity has made it to the stars, given a kick start by some information found in artifacts left by a much older race on Mars.
		Broken Angels starts with him in a combat engineered body working in a war he wants to get out of, when he hears about a hidden alien artifact which can lead him to an alien ship large enough to set him up to get out of the war with a healthy pay-packet.

	Bambooweb: Broken Angels
		Broken Angels (2003) is a military science fiction novel by Richard Morgan.
		Whilst having his latest temporary body repaired after a disasterous land campaign, Kovacs is approached by pilot Jan Schneider, who is looking for protection (and gets a partner) for an expedition to exploit an Alien artifact discovered just before the war broke out.
		Like the first novel, Broken Angels combines a twisting, gritty, film noir plot with convincing technology, extreme ultra-violence and convincing characters and motivations.

	Richard Morgan: Broken Angels - an infinity plus review
		Let me put it this way: Broken Angels is at its most laidback right at the beginning when Kovacs, very severely injured and chemically poisoned, is dumped onto the ice-cold floor of a hospital ship in Sanction IV orbit along with most of his badly wounded colleagues.
		Altered Carbon was a focused invective against the dehumanising effects of technology and the money required to afford its benefits; Broken Angels reaches further outside the personal and into the social dimensions of Morgan's 26th century, albeit mainly by widening the focus upon exactly the same problems as Altered Carbon.
		Broken Angels is another superb book by Morgan, it grips like a vise and squeezes so much cynicism, rage and action into just 394 pages.

	SCIENCE FICTION - New York Times
		In BROKEN ANGELS (Del Rey/Ballantine, paper, $14.95), Kovacs returns as a soldier of fortune, fighting for pay on a distant planet where it takes more than a program to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
		But as with ''Altered Carbon,'' what distinguishes Morgan's second novel is his persuasive reimagining of the familiar as filtered through the character of Kovacs, a disillusioned superman who carries his own kryptonite around with him.
		''Broken Angels'' is a novel of pain and guilt.

		'Broken Angels' takes place in the universe of 'Altered Carbon', a 26th century where the human soul can be easily stored in a standard digital format and easily 're-sleeved' into new bodies.
		Morgan covers all the bases in 'Broken Angels', from religious relevance to alien inscrutability.
		In 'Broken Angels' Morgan serves it all up with a fist to the face and a subtle twist to the neck.

	The Quern » Blog Archive » Book Review: Broken Angels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Broken Angels is the second Takeshi Kovacs novel, a sequel to Altered Carbon connected only by the fact that the main character is the same.
		Altered Carbon was a detective story with a touch of adventure, similar to Blade Runner or the old-style hardboiled private-eye novels and films; Broken Angels is more of an adventure story with a touch of detective work, more similar to the Indiana Jones movies, if Indiana Jones was a psychologically-, neurochemically- and technologically-augmented supersoldier-turned-mercenary.
		On the human side, Broken Angels deals in themes of loyalty and trust, and how betrayal of trust and loyalty are repaid.

	Neil Young Sleeps With Angels Review - Broken Arrow
		And now it seems that _Sleeps With Angels_ is the 20 year sequel to _Tonight's The Night_, much as _Harvest Moon_ was the sequel to 1972's _Harvest_.
		Sleeps With Angels has the epic length "Change Your Mind" (lyrics analysis) anchoring its center while Tonight's The Night's linchpin are the 4 tracks "Roll Another Number", "Albuquerque", "Lookout Joe", and "Tired Eyes".
		It should be noted that the most optimistic song on Tonight's The Night - "New Mama" written for Carrie Snodgress who had just given birth to their son Zeke - interrupts the sequence.

	TIME LINE of the Altered Carbon Universe
		In Broken Angels, the hunt for Martian technology comes to the fore as Kovacs finds himself fighting as a mercenary in a war on a planet whose principal source of wealth lies in its archaeological leavings.
		By the end of Broken Angels, we know a lot more about the Martians than we did at the end of Altered Carbon, but whether the human race is any better off for that knowledge is another question.
		You don’t get the ensemble feel of Broken Angels either, because although there is a strong cast of secondary characters in Woken Furies, they tend to come and go as the story follows Kovacs’ journey (or voyage, really, as Harlan’s World is largely oceanic).

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Separation / Broken Angels / The Tain
		Broken Angels is the first person narrative of Takeshi Kovacs (with the "c" pronounced as a soft Slavic "ch"), who previously appeared in Morgan's widely praised debut Altered Carbon (which Del Rey has just recently released in the U.S.).
		While certain, shall we say, less mature readers may find the story the next best thing to a movie in terms of spectacular shoot-outs and special effects, Broken Angels is more in the tradition of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War in satirizing the stupidity of the very genre it mimics.
		Morgan vividly and graphically depicts the results of combat, which, after all, is to kill or maim the enemy before they do it to you.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Broken Angels / RIchard K. Morgan
		RICHARD K. Superior to Altered Carbon (and entirely readable on its own), Broken Angels finally shows Richard K. Morgan cutting the umbilical from the influences he displayed so unabashedly before, and moving the stories of Takeshi Kovacs off into new and more interesting directions.
		From a character and themes standpoint, it has many of the same peccadilloes as Carbon; Morgan's future outlook comes across, if not nihilistic, certainly deeply misanthropic, and his thematic messages — people are cruel and warlike; corporations are corrupt; technology is dehumanizing — are simplistic.
		Broken Angels moves far, far away from the detective/noir motif of Carbon and emerges as a gritty work of military SF action.

		Yet a good number of Dark Angels, several high-ranking members of the Inner Circle, see Dominicus as enlightened rather than cursed, but all understand that his radical beliefs completely discredited all that the Dark Angels have done in their quest for redemption.
		He is otherwise a devout Dark Angel who hates Fallens with a passion and would indifferrently slaughter women and children in a most organized fashion if it benefitted his chapter.
		Enraged from the nagging aggravation, Vincentius’s concentration was broken for a mere second, enough to allow Marcellus’s power sword to cut a chunk from his legging, slicing open the ceramite plates and shredding fiber bundles in one stroke.

		In Broken Angels we have a sequel of sorts and the return of his Envoy anti-hero, Takeshi Kovacs.
		It helps to reinforce some of the atmospheric work that Morgan has already done in establishing a milieu in which the realities of 'data-stack' personality backups and extended periods of space travel have had important effects on the way people live their lives.
		Broken Angels is wide-screen in one sense, but it still maintains the sense of potential treachery and paranoia of Altered Carbon.
