Broken Angels
by Richard Morgan (Victor Gollancz, 2003); audiobook read by Todd McLaren (Tantor, 2015)
Reprising antihero Takeshi Kovacs, Morgan expands upon his racially diverse though otherwise cynical SF future beyond cyberpunk. More world-building than story, Broken Angels suffers from awkwardly explicit sex scenes and—in audiobook form—from jarring mispronunciations and McLaren’s faux-jaded characterisation of Kovacs.
