Joe Mauser, Mercenary from Tomorrow
By Mack Reynolds & Michael Banks
- Release Date: 2014-02-07
- Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy
It's a crooked road to world peace...but it works. Warfare between nations has been banned. Taking its place are the Corporate Wars -- full-scale battles between mercenary armies hired by large corporations, ostensibly to settle trade disputes.
But the wars are also free entertainment for the masses. In a world where most jobs have been taken over by automation, free tranquilizers have to be issued to the vast lower class to keep them subdued. The Corporate Wars offer what little excitement their lives hold; deadly serious fighting action -- live and in color.
But when you play with armies, you play with fire. The world's leaders seem to have forgotten that...but Joe Mauser hasn't!
