I really wanted to like this book more than I did. Unfortunately it just doesn't hit the spot.
Its not because it wasn't the same as Altered Carbon , I am not looking for a carbon copy. Its because I love archeology and the thought of finding out more about the Martians was wonderful, but it didn't quite deliver. The big reveal about the Martians became a cops and robbers shoot-out. It was right out of some movie-cartoon.
And at the end of the book I had a another feeling of let down. mostly because the book was very similar in story mechanics to the first book. It was a fast and furious story with lots of sex and violence and lots of razzle dazzle future tech. Takeshi had another love interest, and was mooning over the woman in the previous book. It struck me that the future stories were all going to be the same, just the details were going to change, and that made me sad. I was hoping for more from Morgan and Takeshi
