In the first book of the Hostile Takeover Trilogy, Dominic Magnus, an executive with a past in the Confederacy’s secret police, is caught in the center of a covert operation on Bakunin. His company is literally shot out from under him, and he escapes with little more than his life. Slowly he manages to arrange forces to take back at least part of what had once been his.
Note: this book is currently published as part of the omnibus of The Hostile Takeover Trilogy.
Designed to follow in the tradition of Poul Anderson [and] Jack Vance…a swashbuckling adventure with dramatic reversals and surprises enough to keep you guessing until the final chapter.
