Publisher Description

From the award-winning author of Altered Carbon and Broken Angels–a turbocharged new thriller set in a world where killers are stars, media is mass entertainment,
and freedom is a dangerous proposition . . .

A coup in Cambodia. Guns to Guatemala. For the men and women of Shorn Associates, opportunity is calling. In the superheated global village of the near future, big money is made by finding the right little war and supporting one side against the other–in exchange for a share of the spoils. To succeed, Shorn uses a new kind of corporate gladiator: sharp-suited, hard-driving gunslingers who operate armored vehicles and follow a Samurai code. And Chris Faulkner is just the man for the job.

He fought his way out of London’s zone of destitution. And his kills are making him famous. But unlike his best friend and competitor at Shorn, Faulkner has a side that outsiders cannot see: the side his wife is trying to salvage, that another woman–a porn star turned TV news reporter–is trying to exploit. Steeped in blood, eyed by common criminals looking for a shot at fame, Faulkner is living on borrowed time. Until he’s given one last shot at getting out alive. . . .

Wow!

This is the best sci-fi book you've never read. A hero(?) you can empathize with, corporate evildoers you'll love to hate, and tons of action now. Warner Brothers has optioned this for a film, and they better get on it! Close to Morgan's best work, and I've read them all numerous times.

Corporatocracy

This book is really Richard K. Morgan's insight to our global economy, who runs it, and where it's headed, all while staying in a fictional/futuristic format.
Not pleasant reading if you're looking for a sfi-fi read with a happy ending.
"Market "Forces". shows the darkness that lies ahead for the poor and the zek-tivs in the new world Corporatocracy.
