DETAILS

In a zero-sum world, survival means someone else has to lose.
The corporate order is collapsing.
America Incorporated is fighting to survive. Liberteum is fighting to replace it. Old alliances are breaking, new ones are being forged, and every faction believes it alone deserves to shape what comes next.
Caught in the struggle is Rykos, no longer the privileged student who once accepted the world around him without question. Revolution has changed him. Loss has hardened him. Now, as the battle against corporate rule reaches a critical stage, he must decide not only what he is willing to fight for—but what he is willing to sacrifice to win.
Across a fractured world, political maneuvering gives way to open conflict. Governments, corporations, revolutionaries, and competing power brokers scramble for advantage as the balance of power shifts beneath them. Allies become liabilities. Enemies become necessities. And every victory threatens to create a new struggle for control.
Because destroying the old order is only the beginning.
The real question is who gets to build the world that replaces it.
Who can you trust when everyone wants something?
Zero Sum Game is the explosive fifth and penultimate novel in Mikael Carlson’s America, Inc. Saga, a dystopian political thriller series about revolution, corporate power, war, loyalty, and the dangerous belief that one side must lose for another to win.
The struggle for humanity’s future is approaching its end—but before there can be a Paradigm Shift, someone has to survive the 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.

Amazon Review
The Black Swan Event brings to life a masterfully detailed array of characters with diverse viewpoints that establish an intricately mesmerizing, yet alarmingly grim, reality. 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.

Review by Book Excellence
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?
