[Book One, Paperback] In this timely political fiction we meet Ken, a young Wall Street analyst thrown out of work in a major market crash, facing financial and emotional ruin in Empire City, the private corporation Manhattan has become some decades in the future. As Ken spirals down, battling and succumbing to desperation and despair, he is rescued by a uniquely talented young woman with a dedicated revolutionary agenda. Together they form a most extraordinary partnership in a mission to change the world.Sahar, or Sa for short, is the individual's individual in many ways, with talents that enable her to spy on the machinations of the world's richest and most powerful man, on whose Catskill estate, a nerve center to the world, she lives in secrecy. While the wilderness estate has transformed her into an athlete and warrior, the Net, a future amalgam of current technologies, has made her a sophisticated seductress and dissembler, living virtual lives online in the wider world.In romping dialog with the insightful Sa, Ken returns from the brink of self-destruction and enlists for high pay in her revolutionary enterprise. His job? Multiplying the billions in her political war chest to fund big capitalism's ultimate demise.Written mostly in the form of brisk dialogue among an unusually intriguing cast of characters, this is the wry, symbolic tale of a consummate revolutionary armed with the know-how and means to turn the tides on the Wall Street political system. The present and future, real and unreal fuel a delightful and scathing bonfire of corporate political culture in America.The novel anticipates subsequent books in a Nine Inch Bride series. Book One is subtitled "An Epiphany On Wall Street."… (más)

While this dystopian almost-hardboiled, despite some innovative plot twists, had too much sex and a rather unplausible premise for my taste, it carries an important message, and a good cliff-hanger ending.

Our system is riddled with both problems and promise, and needs a fully educated public willing to think long-term in order to solve the problems, and live up to the promise of the Founding Documents of the USA. Those lofty ideals have not yet been put into practice, but they can, with the will of us all.
Peace and Community,
