Rise of the Automated Empire

Peace came at a great cost. The final battle of the Corporate War laid waste to the Corporate Federation's single largest market. Billions died when the Earth burned, access down the gravity well was restricted, and the low orbit infrastructure was annihilated. After fifty years of recovery and relative stability, the largest independent corporation has entered the Corporate Federation with a splash. But as the Chinese proverb says, the nail that sticks up gets hammered down, and Elliot Humboldt, the senior director of the second largest corporation, is out to make sure that Allied Industries is flattened. Can Dawn Sheffield navigate the minefield of corporate politics as the new senior director of Allied Industries, or is a second Corporate War on the horizon?
