Humanity is controlled by Marsco, a megacorporation whose authoritarian regime extends past Earth into the planet's growing space colonies. All computer access, most space travel and commerce fall under Marsco's control.
After the events of
The Marsco Dissident
, the corporation's enemies and allies have regrouped to consider their options. For Martin Herriff, the relative calm offers an opportunity to complete work on the first interstellar spaceship-a vessel he and his friends plan to use to elude Marsco's all-encompassing grasp.
For Arnold Wilkes, better known as Hawkins, the time has come to restart a war he lost twenty-five years ago, a war that could drive Earth back to the chaos that allowed Marsco to assume power in the first place.
As old friends, lovers, and enemies reunite, plot, and strategize, Marsco continues to consolidate its power, moving against the Luddite factions who conspired to rebel against the tech giant. The corporation may have grown too big to fail-but if it should collapse, anarchy and political bedlam will return once again.
The second entry in
