About this listen

 What do you buy and sell when the global markets reach saturation point? The markets themselves. Thirty years from now the big players in global capitalism have moved on from commodities. The big money is in conflict investment. The corporations keep a careful watch on the wars of liberation and revolution that burn constantly around the world. They guage who the winners will be and sell them arms, intelligence, and power. In return for a slice of the action when the war is won.

The reward? A stake in the new nation. It's cynical, brutal, and it has nothing to do with democracy and the rule of law. So what else is new? The executives in this lethal game bid for contracts, fight for promotion, secure their lives on the roads. Fighting lethal duels in souped up, heavily armoured cars on the empty motorways of the future. Chris Faulkener has a lethal reputation and a new job at Shorn Associates. Has he got what it takes to make a real killing?

Kind of slow and predictable buy still somehow intersting.

Slow start and flat storyline with flat characters but somehow it was intersting anyway. Mit something I would read again but I enjoyed it enough. Author likes his boring scenes and forever drinking which was vaguely annoying after a while but eh.

Great concepts and innovative sci fi

As a finance nerd, I loved the premise and execution of the ideas. Was not a big fan of the narrator and almost stopped listening, but glad I stuck through.
