Quick recap

Thirty years later, Kovacs wakes up in a new body on Harlan's World, where he was born, and becomes the suspect in the death of Axley, one of the planet's founders. On his trail are bounty hunter Trepp and Colonel Ivan Carrera, Kovacs's old commander. Quellcrist Falconer is alive, but she doesn't remember who she is and is killing the founders one by one. Quell learns she shares her body with the consciousness of an Elder, an ancient being bent on revenge. In the final fight, Danica Harlan dies and Kovacs sacrifices himself to save Quell and the planet. Quell leaves to find a new world, and a rebooted Poe, his memory wiped, starts over alongside the AI Dig 301.
