Books like Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan
In a hyper‑globalized future, lucrative opportunities arise from sponsoring sides in small wars. Shorn Associates, a powerful corporation, supplies clients with elite operators—swift, hard‑driving corporate gladiators—guided by a rigid code. Chris Faulkner, a seasoned operative who rose from London’s destitution, is chosen for one of the most perilous assignments. While his professional reputation thrives, his private life is unraveling: a fraught marriage, a former porn star turned TV reporter stirring turmoil, and rivals within the company.
The story unfolds as Faulkner balances the deadly demands of corporate warfare with the stakes of personal betrayal, navigating political intrigue in Guatemala and beyond while confronting a looming threat that could expose his identity and end his life and career forever.
