Description

The acclaimed space opera trilogy continues against a backdrop of interstellar drone warfare, virtual reality, and an A.I. revolution.

“[The Corporation Wars] is a kind of action-packed Dirty Dozen or Suicide Squad scenario. . . . There’s lots of action in this second installment, including thrilling space battles and VR weirdness. . . . MacLeod does many astonishing things here. . . . He shows a keen hand with action sequences. And there is a generous amount of humor to leaven the otherwise dire and deadly consequences of the multi-front war.” —Locus

DIE FOR THE COMPANY, LIVE FOR THE PAY . . . and the ultimate pay-off is DH-seventeen, an Earth-like planet hundreds of light years from human habitation. Ruthless corporations vie over the prize remotely, and war is in full swing.

But soldiers recruited to fight in the extremities of deep space come with their own problems, from A.I. minds in full rebellion to Carlos “the Terrorist” and his team of dead mercenaries who have been reincarnated from a bloodier period in Earth's history for one purpose only—to kill.
