CAUTION!
You are about to enter a world...
where all engineering ingenuity has been employed for public spectacles of torture and death
where the stock market operates with pari-mutuel machines
where a court clerk transcribes testimony on punch cards, then feeds it to a jury machine
where the dream real-estate development of today has become a cracked-concrete savage jungle
In this world, young lawyer Charles Mundin battles a great combine of corporate interestsâbattles them in board meetings and in dark alleysâin a struggle that lays bare some brutal promises of the future...promises we are beginning to make right now.
"âŚwholly admirable, in both thinking and execution."âGalaxy
"Reminiscent in vigor, bite and acumen to THE SPACE MERCHANTS"âAnthony Boucher.
"...possessed of a bite and savage vigor which makes it one of the outstanding science fiction novels of the year."âThe New York Times
"...a powerfully convincing story."âNew York Herald Tribune
