Synopsis

It's the 21st century and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too -- the companies possess all the best hardware, and they're calling the shots now. In a world like this, a man open to any offers can make out just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who's psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment, carrying state-of-the-art weaponry -- and late of the English Army's Mindstar Battalion. As the cartels battle for control of a revolutionary new power source, and corporate greed outstrips national security, tension is mounting to boiling point -- and Greg Mandel is about to face the ultimate test.
