In this retelling of his Orwellian 2015 Black Swan Saga, award-winning author Mikael Carlson presents a chilling vision of a dystopian future in the second novel of a planned six-book series. The America, Inc. Saga unfolds after a global economic collapse in 2039, leading to the rise of powerful multinational corporations that govern a world devoid of crime, unemployment, and war—albeit at the cost of individual freedom. A week after a terrorist attack in New York, normalcy seems to return, but corporate executives and patricians exploit the tragedy to further their agendas. Chief Inspector Zyree is tasked with investigating Rykos alongside a diligent colleague, who doubts the significance of his suspicions. However, when a high-ranking official is kidnapped and several wealthy patricians are murdered, Zyree suspects Rykos holds the key to a sinister plot threatening the corporate order. As the stakes escalate, infighting among the terrorists complicates their plans. A massive attack forces them to initiate the second phase of their "Archimedes" plan, plunging New York into chaos. The narrative explores themes of surveillance, propaganda, and the struggle between liberty and tyranny, as shifting loyalties and political strife threaten the fragile corporatist society. Will the "terrorists" succeed in reshaping the world order, or can the remnants of freedom prevail? Continue your journey in this gripping saga.
