WOKEN FURIES Review. "This Enemy you cannot Kill"

 Woken Furies

by Richard K. Morgan

Narrated by William Dufris

WOKEN FURIES is the third of the Takeshi Kovacs novels. It takes the character to a fitting conclusion through a complex sequence of events that is nicely tied up in a neat ball at the end. But along the way you don't notice, or care that things will end well. You don’t want it to end at all. The ride is the thing. When I first read the print version it seemed to contain as much action as three novels could possibly contain. Here Kovacs it brought full circle, he meets old friends, and makes new enemies and, again, gets himself in the middle of the turmoil. This is a great SF novel.

Willliam Dufris narrates this most excellent novel. At first I was disappointed that Todd McLaren, who did the first two books, did not read this one as well, but then Dufris hit his stride. The text lends itself to great performance and Dufris does not disappoint. His characterization of female characters is unsurpassed for a male voice. I give him high marks.
