Summary
 Four hundred years from now mankind is strung out across a region of interstellar space inherited from an ancient civilization discovered on Mars. The colonies are linked together by the occasional sublight colony ship voyages and hyperspatial data-casting. Human consciousness is digitally freighted between the stars and downloaded into bodies as a matter of course.

But some things never change. So when ex-envoy, now-convict Takeshi Kovacs has his consciousness and skills downloaded into the body of a nicotine-addicted ex-thug and presented with a catch-22 offer, he really shouldn¿t be surprised. Contracted by a billionaire to discover who murdered his last body, Kovacs is drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that stretches across known space and to the very top of society.

For a first-time SF writer to be so surely in command of narrative and technology, so brilliant at world-building, so able to write such readable and enjoyable SF adventure, is simply extraordinary.

Je cherchais des exemples de "Sci Fi Noir" pour essayer un nouveau genre. L'idée de pouvoir changer de corps comme de veste est intéressante, mais je trouve l'exécution parfois un peu trop superficielle.
Quelques défauts de son (faibles buzz & autres bruits parasites) gâchent une prestation vocale pourtant agréable et dynamique.

Bon livre, avec quelques défauts sonores.
