In the second volume of the Hostile Takeover Trilogy, Dominic Magnus begins to return to business after a qualified success against the Confederacy.

But it shortly becomes apparent that this is more than a personal war against him, or his company. The full enormity of what is happening is revealed when the full weight of the Confederacy falls on the unprepared planet.

Note: this book is currently published as part of the omnibus of The Hostile Takeover Trilogy.

Snapped me back several decades to the dear old Analog of hardboiled Harry Harrison and Mack Reynolds…crucial ancestors are probably the smartass comic-inferno satires of Pohl & Kornbluth…or Robert Sheckley.

Locus

Best sci-fi I’ve read in years
