The Takeshi Kovacs Reading Order

Richard K. Morgan’s excellent sci-fi noir series. Now a Netflix show.

Altered Carbon

Novel published 2003.
Woken Furies
Novel published 2005.
Altered Carbon: Download Blues
Graphic novel published 2019.
Altered Carbon: One Life, One Death
Graphic novel published 2022.

Your mileage may vary, but many Kovacs fans claim that Morgan’s later A Land Fit For Heroes series is a continuation of his tales. Whether or not you agree with that, they’re a cracking good read, well worth your time.
