Richard K. Morgan

Chris Faulkner, a wealthy commondities trader, uses his talent for instigating and taking advantage of revolutions and wars of liberation around the world in order to sell arms, intelligence, and power, but his growing riches come at a terrible cost. By the author of Altered Carbon. Original. 24,000 first printing.

I put it away after the first six or seven chapters. I understand what Morgan is trying to do here but the whole theme of Mad Max-like violence as a facet of turbo capitalism didn't do it for me. The idea simply didn't click, it was a bit too ham-fisted for my personal taste.

Hence, no star rating as I don't feel qualified to rate that novel.
