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?… (plus d'informations)
Another strong delivery from Richard Morgan. A stand-alone novel that works wonders when it comes to the anti-capitalist satire. The story is brutal and enjoyable thanks to Morgan’s cocky and cynical writing. I was expecting even more twists in the plot but that is already a solid thriller as it is. The mix of thriller, international finance and light cyberpunk just clicks and I would love more stories to be written in that genre. Morgan has managed to carve out his own niche in the SF world.

Market Forces is dedicated, with love, to my earliest fan, my sister Caroline - because she's waited long enough
It's also dedicated to all those, globally, whose lives have been wrecked or snuffed out by the Great Neoliberal Dream and Slash-and-Burn Globalisation.

Gave himself up to the snarl of the engine, the spreading numbness of the drugs in his system, and the onrushing emptiness of the road ahead.
