Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy hard science fiction with genuinely inventive worldbuilding. space opera that treats warfare and virtual consciousness as serious tactical and philosophical problems, not just backdrops.
  • You appreciate ensemble casts of morally grey characters solving problems through cunning and firepower rather than destiny or chosen-one nonsense.
  • You want action sequences that feel grounded and consequential, with humour threaded through instead of undermining the stakes.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romance or character intimacy at the heart of your stories. MacLeod's focus is on the mechanics of conflict and ideology.
  • You want straightforward good-versus-evil narratives. This trilogy is built on corporate malfeasance and competing amoral interests.
  • You dislike dense worldbuilding or require books to stand alone. This is book two of three, and MacLeod assumes you're tracking multiple factions and their histories.

About this book

The second installment in The Corporation Wars trilogy continues a space opera centered on interstellar drone warfare, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence revolution. Corporations compete remotely for control of DH-seventeen, an Earth-like planet hundreds of light years from human habitation, with war actively underway. Soldiers recruited to fight in deep space bring their own complications, including A.I. minds in open rebellion and Carlos "the Terrorist" alongside his team of dead mercenaries reincarnated from a violent period in Earth's history for a single mission: to kill. The novel features space battles, virtual reality sequences, and action scenes throughout. It balances the serious consequences of multi-front warfare with humor and demonstrates skilled execution of action sequences.
