THE UNINCORPORATED WOMAN
Genre: Science Fiction, General Science Fiction
Rich with multiple plot threads skillfully handled by the authors, The Unincorpo rated Woman returns readers to the revolution started by Justin Cord. Well-conceived characters along with intense, battle-oriented space content will keep even new readers glued to the page. The story stretches believability in spots given the scope of purported technical innovation in 300 years, but the combination of quality hard-science research and well-written action sequences more than makes up for this. With markets still reeling in response to the poorly forecast, yet favorably viewed death of Outer Alliance President Justin Cord, the United Human Federation instituted new financial regulations limiting option and derivative trading on events tied to the ongoing war. The new regulations establish a two-stellar-year moratorium on trades involving the outcomes of military actions. News from the Outer Alliance seems grim with most statistical models and charts suggesting that even military genius General JD Black will not be able to hold the loose alliance of the “shareless” in check.
