"Richard Morgan - Altered Carbon" - читать интересную книгу автора (Morgan Richard)

'Outstanding. This seamless marriage of hardcore cyberpunk and hard-boiled detective tale is
an astonishing first novel.'
The Times

'Hits the floor running and then starts to accelerate. For a first novel it is an astonishing piece
of work. Intriguing and inventive in equal proportions and refuses to let go until the last page.
A wonderful SF idea.'
Peter F. Hamilton

'Carbon-black noir with drive and wit, a tight plot and a back-story that leaves the reader
wanting a sequel like another fix.'
Ken Macleod

'Brilliant. Unputdownable. Lots of similar blurb-writing cliches, only in this case all true. I
loved it. It is expertly plotted, grips you throughout, a high-tech ride in which the shocks and
excitement are placed with machine-tooled polish. It is also superbly written, passages of
cool, detached writing that is wonderfully atmospheric, alternating with passages of
ultraviolence brutal enough to be genuinely shocking.'
Adam Roberts

'Morgan's first novel is a brilliant start to what promises to be an outstanding career.
ALTERED CARBON captures the best of SF and spins it in a new direction that will not
only have existing genre fans crying out for more, but will in all likelihood attract the biggest
new readership since William Gibson made SF cool again. This is without doubt my hottest
recommendation for 2002.'
Michael Rowley, Waterstones Enigma magazine

'An exhilarating and glossy adventure punctuated by bursts of extreme violence. The plot
reaches terminal velocity early on and stays there. What makes ALTERED CARBON a
winner is the quality of Morgan's prose. For every piece of John Woo action there is a
stunning piece of reflective description, a compelling sense of place and abundant 24-carat
witticisms. A commanding novel.'
SFX magazine

'A crisp, tight SF mystery. Its plotting is nothing short of first rate. The level of sheer pulp
violence is almost exhilarating. ALTERED CARBON may be high-octane pulp, but it's pulp
that does exactly what it sets out to do.'
Locus

'I was completely blown away by ALTERED CARBON. From the very first page, it's a pure
adrenalin rush of slick, hard-hitting prose, superb characterisation and a plot that grabs you
and just won't let go. A superbly rich and varied feast of fiction. Richard Morgan is destined
to be a very, very big name in science fiction circles for a long time to come. Welcome to the
Next Big Thing.'
The Alien Online

'A superb SF noir-thriller .. . truly remarkable. Brash and violent, highly intelligent and
highly entertaining. Morgan bounds on to the stage with his debut performance and
totally astounds the audience.'
