always wanted to travel and write. He managed to get the traveling part down long before the writing part came. Following graduation from Queens’ College, Cambridge University, Morgan moved to London, where he states that his dreams of being a successful novelist were “cut down to size.” Morgan says, “About the only worthwhile thing I did in London that year was cultivate a taste for Thai and Japanese cuisines, Jack Daniel’s on ice, and Islay single malts. None of which I could really afford. It was time to leave.” After four weeks of training as an English-language teacher, he found himself in Istanbul. Then it was back to London, then Madrid, and finally Glasgow, where he secured a university post. Fourteen years after his initial foray to London, his first novel,
Altered Carbon,
was purchased for publication. Shortly thereafter, Hollywood optioned the book for the movies. He is now a happy, full-time writer with the means to write and travel when he wants to (which is usually).
Woken Furies
is Morgan’s fourth novel and features the return of Takeshi Kovacs, the imperfect protagonist from

His third book,
