Description
Takeshi Kovacs has come home.
Home to Harlan's World. An ocean planet with only 5% of its landmass poking above the dangerous and unpredictable seas. Try and get above the weather in anything more sophisticated than a helicopter and the Martian orbital platforms will burn you out of the sky.
And death doesn't just wait for you in the seas and the skies. On land, from the tropical beaches and swamps of Kossuth to the icy, machine-infested wastes of New Hokkaido the hard won gains of the Quellist revolution have been lost. The First Families, the corporations and the Yakuza have a stranglehold on everything.
Embarked on a journey of implacable retribution for a lost love, Kovacs is blown off course and into a maelstrom of political intrigue and technological mystery as the ghosts of Harlan's World and his own violent past rise to claim their due. Quellcrist Falconer is back from the dead, they say, and hunting her down for the First Families is a savage young Envoy called Kovacs who's been in storage ...

Best book of the series
I did not expect much from this one since I've found the rest of the series to be just "OK" books but this one exceeded my expectations by miles. The storyline from the last book was nicely included and woven into the events of this one, Kovacs background got more explored and it all tied rather nicely together in the end. I am rather sad that this is the last of the series since the epilogue does leave to wonder what is going to happen next even though it is, hypothetically, answered.
I really liked the idea of Takeshi hunting himself, in fact that is something I wanted to see from start, with switches of both perspectives, which tasked the reader to figure out what happened here. Alas, that is probably really difficult and annoying to read. ;) I am not exactly sure about this book, this whole revenge theme with those fanatics is a bit off character for me, but maybe that is the result of the resleeving. Overall the story is again fast paced and has lots of surprises and some tidbits of explanation at the end.
