BROKEN ANGELS.
London: Gollancz, [2003]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed by Morgan on the title page. The second book in the Takeshi Kovacs series where he is a mercenary involved in suppressing an uprising on another planet. He is approached to be involved in a shady scheme involving recovery of archeological artifacts. "Here, Morgan has nicely expanded the scope of his series, giving a detailed look at the chaotic hodge-podge that interstellar discovery has turned a small section of the galaxy into, along with the Milosevic-like bureaucrats and soldiers jockeying for position in it. Occasionally overdosing on world-weariness, but nevertheless a thrilling cyberpunk actioner." - Kirkus review, 2003.

WOKEN FURIES.
London: Gollancz, [2005]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed by Morgan on the title page. The third book in the Takeshi Kovacs series where he returns to his home world, "...Kovacs must battle against the planet’s repressive, pseudo-Muslim religion; long ago, its fundamentalist misogyny led to the death of his one true love. Before long, he’s tangled with the local ruling class, the First Families. Then he meets Sylvie, who may be the reincarnation of a messianic figure from centuries past. She too is targeted by the First Families, who don’t want the power structure upended again, and the guy they send to dispatch Sylvie may be a copy of Kovacs himself—only younger and not quite as bright. Hammering cyberpunk action, with an occasional detour for a stirring speech against religious fundamentalism." - Kirkus book review, 2005.
