About this ebook

The Kollin brothers introduced their future world, and central character Justin Cord, in their Prometheus Award-winning novel The Unincorporated Man. Justin created a revolution in that book, and is now exiled from Earth to the outer planets, where he is an heroic figure.

The corporate society which is headquartered on Earth and rules Venus, Mars, and the Orbital colonies, wants to destroy Justin and reclaim hegemony over the rebellious outer planets. The first interplanetary civil war begins as the military fleet of Earth attacks. Filled with battles, betrayals, and triumphs, The Unincorporated War is a full-scale space opera that catapults the focus of the earlier novel up and out into the solar system. Justin remains both a logical and passionate fighter for the principles that motivate him, and remains the most dangerous man alive.

Ratings and reviews

This is the second book in the series and it develops the authors’ style. The theme of finance is again reviewed, now under battle conditions. Justin Cord, the original protagonist, is defending the Alliance. The first chapter jumps into the suspense, the second begins a year earlier. There are two parts for fifteen chapters and a pair of epilogues. The last line says that it is “to be continued”. Given the premise, the plot establishes credibility. The length is about the same as the first book at 464 pages. There is tactical action throughout the solar system from Mercury to Ceres between various ships from Alliance and United Human Federation. The setting, plot and characterizations are intricate enough to deserve mapping.

a well thought out concept, but not a very original story. the world and its technologies are quite believable, as is the core idea of personal incorporation. however, the characters are somewhat cliched and the plot a rather predictable hero story - especially the female players seem to only be accessories to the men, and even the language is stuck in patriarchal concepts from the last century - a side of the fact that everybody is speaking the exact same english 300 years from now, all through the solar system.
