Book Description
In a zero-sum game, freedom can only be won by taking power from someone else.
The world was rebuilt after the Collapse on a simple promise: corporations would succeed where governments failed. For decades, America Incorporated delivered prosperity, order, and security. Now that promise is unraveling. The financial markets have gone dark. New York City has fallen into open rebellion. The Board of Directors is at war with its own Chief Executive, and the foundations of corporate rule are beginning to crack.
As rival factions battle for control, unlikely heroes find themselves at the center of a global crisis. Rykos and the resistance movement Liberteum fight for freedom against a system built on control. Meanwhile, corporate executives, security chiefs, and power brokers maneuver behind closed doors, each convinced they alone can save the world – or claim it for themselves.
But an even greater threat lurks in the shadows. While America Incorporated tears itself apart, ambitious forces are exploiting the chaos to reshape the global order. Alliances crumble, loyalties are tested, and every decision carries consequences that will echo far beyond a single city, corporation, or continent.
As America Incorporated spirals toward collapse, every player faces an impossible choice. Can freedom survive in a world built on control? Can old enemies become allies before it's too late? And when the fate of millions hangs in the balance, how far would you go to protect the future you believe in? In a world where every gain comes at someone else's loss, who will be left standing when the final moves are made in this zero-sum game?
Praise for the America, Inc. Saga

Another intense thriller full of twists and turns, in a very creative and frighteningly realistic world--one in which it's hard to choose a side. I read everything Carlson writes and he still throws me for loops! Highly recommend this read.

Mikael Carlson turns the tension up to full blast in this complex examination of a corporate entity’s overreaching grip on power and the skillful group determined to break its hold.

Carlson wrote this years ago, yet it's uncanny how close the world in 'Black Swan Event' is to today's world. And let's be real, would you have ever believed, let alone predicted, what life is like now if someone told you just two years ago?
