Do you have a source for that quote? Ninebelow 17:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It was in an interview, which I read on http://www.saxonbullock.com/richardmorganinterview.htm. --Shimbo 09:56, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Market Forces could be a prequel to the other three novels (there are many references to Mars in MF, for example, and Shorn Investments is mentioned in Woken Furies). This is completly hypothetical on my part as far as I know, but the possibility's there. Ewan 14:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I thought everyone believed Market Forces was a prequel? It really is quite obvious in my opinion. --86.2.153.77 15:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Given that at one point the protagonist describes reading 'Altered Carbon' it seems far from obvious to me. Shimbo 20:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Way, WAY too many co-incidences. --86.2.153.77 01:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] == Studying Economics? ==

The article had this quote (apparently dispute if Morgan was studying economics):

Spoke to Richard on Saturday at Eastercon (15/04/06) in Glasgow. His wife and not Richard is doing the Economics Course. According to him.

I've removed the disputed line and this comment. Nloth 03:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISBN and other stuff...

I changed the "Thirteen" ISBN was for isbn europe (American title..hah) and didn't search right for most searches including isbndb.com. Fixed.

2nd I added a 'see also' wiki heading. And mentioned the philip k. dick awards. I am probably not the first to point out that ANCHORS suck rocks - in wikipedia/media-wiki. It says you can either use the auto-heading ( == MyCustomHeading == ), or create: <div id="Richard_Morgan"></div> <- Something like that. At any rate I tried to get it to point to the year 2003 (year he won for Altered.) And this is tough as it is a "Table" and can't use headings.. Urggg. Oh well, the anchor is there, still doesn't work (I edited Philip_k_Dick) to no avail.....They ,ave have "div id's" off on here?????

I've fixed it. I used a span tag rather than a div, since we didn't need a new block-level thing and enclosed the title rather than place it after, so that the title wasn't off the screen when you go to the anchor. I've also adjusted the link on this article accordingly. -- Jon Dowland 13:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
