Interactive Technology and the New Paradigm for Healthcare, (Studies in Health Technology and Informatics, 18)

1 review

Ios Pr Inc, 1995

Breathtaking in its simplicity; A Triumph!
This book is an excellent resource or companion compendium for those who seek to become fluent or proficient in the corpus of knowledge that this tome represents. In addressing the paucity or dearth of simulated simulation research within the new medical paradigm, the authors bring a fresh and innovative perspective on the state of the art. Lastly, it should suffice to say that Satava et al. ...

Woken Furies

Ballantine Books, 2005

Unfortunatly...
Unfortunatly Morgan has not written a follow up to "Woken Furies." That is the only down side to an EXCELLENT book. Morgan continues the same standard of perfection as with the previous two books of the series. I have even gone as far to email Morgan and practically beg him to continue this series. Buy this book, and hope that Takeshi Kovacs makes a swift return!

Altered Carbon

Del Rey, 2003

futuristic Chandler
Morgan writes with real verve and creates a richly detailed and morally complex world, much like Raymond Chandler, to whom the novel is obviously indebted. Another obvious comparison would be William Gibson, who put these elements (noir detection and sci-fi) together first, but Morgan is actually a much more skilled writer than he. All in all an impressive and engrossing work. My only problem was ...

A great followup to Morgan's Altered Carbon debut!
I was eager to get around to reading Broken Angels immediately after finishing Altered Carbon. While it's hard to top an original, Broken Angels comes very close to successfully doing that. Our anti-hero Takeshi Kovacs is back once again. This time resleeved as a warrior for hire on Sanction IV to help their government in putting down one of the bloodier revolutions in planet history. ...

One guys opinion of the violence in this book.
Broken Angels is the story of a combat zone. If you think that the carnage described with in it is some type of ridiculous distortion (as some reviewers seem to think) of real life in war, then you may need to read up on your military non-fiction. Try Dispatches, by Herr or for something closer to our current era check out Black Hawk Down, by Bowden. These are not Sci-Fi but display a lack of ...

Black Widow Vol. 2: The Things They Say About Her (Mighty Avengers)

3 reviews
Richard K. Morgan, Sean Phillips, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Still liking Morgan's run on BW
I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this one yet. Well, let's get started. Me: Marvel reader from way back, huge fan of Richard K. Morgan's SF. Loved his first six issues on BW. The next six, collected here, don't bring any major new revelations about Natasha or anything/one else, but the story (of which I won't reveal any details here) remains solid throughout. And Daredevil's ...

Black Widow Vol. 1: Homecoming (Mighty Avengers)

Richard K. Morgan, Bill Sienkiewicz

Marvel Comics, 2005

An old favorite meets a new favorite
The old favorite is Marvel Comics, which I devoured during my formative years. The new favorite is Richard K. Morgan, whose work I've been reading ever since he published his first novel, _Altered Carbon_. The combination is terrific. Natasha Romanova (the Black Widow) has always been a comparatively minor character in the Marvel lineup, and her treatment hasn't always been consistent. Here ...

Just as good as his other books
Okay, this is a much bleaker book than his other novels, but so what? It's well written, has a great set of characters, and most importantly of all, it makes you want to keep on turning the pages. This is a science fiction novel that will stand the test of time and in 50 years' time will be being mentioned in the same breath as works by Heinlein and Clarke as classics.

Market Forces

Richard K. Morgan

Tantor Media, 2005

A good story with only a few flaws.
Market Forces is a science fiction story about the not so distant future where globalism is taken to an absolute extreme. Corporate executives who wish to score a big contract or receive a promotion have to duel each other to the death on the highways. After reading some of the reviews here I bought this book expecting to read something of a lower quality than the Takeshi Kovacs series. I was ...
