The reward? A stake in the new nation. It's cynical, brutal, and it has nothing to do with democracy and the rule of law. So what else is new? The executives in this lethal game bid for contracts, fight for promotion, secure their lives on the roads. Fighting lethal duels in souped up, heavily armoured cars on the empty motorways of the future. Chris Faulkener has a lethal reputation and a new job at Shorn Associates. Has he got what it takes to make a real killing?

Interesting, but not compelling.

That's it, my only gripe.
This book, like any other written by this author, is not for the easily offended out faint of heart. You've been warned... but if these things aren't a problem for you, you'll likely snap up everything else in Morgan's library.
five stars with better editing

The book is saved from being a total cartoon (note that the plot is at least in part: Should the banker support evil governments for profit while staying with the hot women, or should he join the UN at the risk of his life while coming back to his wife?) by richly drawn characters. But the characters are so awful that you will grow to hate all of them. So, a good-ish listen, imaganinative and much better written then most science fiction on Audible, but not always pleasant.
Social satire played out a bit too long

The world is run by powerful corporations who foster local wars to create market places for military hardware and take portions of GNP in payment. The corporations believe in Social Darwinism to the Nth degree. In order to have the best and brightest, toughest and cruelest working for the company, they have instituted road rage challenges on the way to work.
The protaganist is an up and comer in this world of the company who has a good car, good driving instincts and a good sense of how to foster a profitable revolution. Unfortunately, he also has a lingering sense of morality.
As always with Morgan, the characters in the book are not all good or all bad. You will however, root for the protaganist anyway.
FInally, I found the reading very good as well.
