Reviews for Richard Morgan's first novel, ALTERED CARBON

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

'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.' 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

'I was completely blown away by Altered Carbon. From the very first page, it's a pure
adrenaline 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 first novel so exciting, so addictive and so bone-crunchingly in your face that it beggars
the need for such virtual reality as it occasionally employs. This is a ceaseless, permanently
off-balance sprint through an all-too-grimly-familiar future where miraculous technologies
are degraded through everyday use and abuse. There are occasional throwaway mentions of
background details here that beg entire novels on their own; ubiquitous pieces of history
dismissed in single lines that had my nose twitching, scenting something far bigger lurking,
hidden under the surface.' INFINITY PLUS

'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 clich├йs, 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

'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
