Th1rte3n

I got Richard Morgan's newest novel - Th1rte3n - from the library while my family was in town. I finished it tonight, having gone back to it at pretty much every opportunity.

Wow.

It's rich, textured, a compelling story with characters you come to care about quickly, and another anti-hero in the tradition of Takashi Kovacs.

I don't, as a rule, re-read books. Life's too short and there are too many good ones - I don't buy the same wine twice either for the same reason - but I suspect I'll re-read this one, so I can get all the stuff I "missed" the first time.

Oh, and while hunting around for stuff I might have missed, I found this interview with Morgan.
