Run to the airport and Gunnison River, "Woken Furies" By Richard K. Morgan

This morning I ran from the laundry mat to the Gunnison County Airport, ran around the path at the edge of the runway, and then ran to the Gunnison river before turning back for a twenty-six minute total running time.

Last night I finished reading Woken Furies by Richard K. Morgan, the last novel in his Takeshi Kovacs trilogy. This novel went further into the back story of Kovacs home planet and personal history. I enjoyed this final novel as it better explains the philosophy of Quellcrist Falconer, a sort-of mash-up of libertarian tendencies with a broader understanding of dynamic power systems both in politics and technology. Of the three novels, I enjoyed the second one the most as a complete self-contained novel. The third novel wrapped up many of the loose ends and does leave the possibilities of other Takeshi Kovacs novels. I do recommend any of these novels as an enjoyable geeky and martial artist ride.

Update:

I forgot to mention that at the end of Woken Furies, while Kovacs is fighting his "younger" self, his younger self tries to perform a favorite "aikido" technique on Kovacs. I always enjoy the random shout-out to Aikido. I'll have to think about what is my favorite Aikido technique, I am not sure I have a single one. It really depends on the situation (I know, this is a cop-out)
