Description
**Der Kampf um die Weltherrschaft** Das Amerika des beginnenden 22. Jahrhunderts ist zweigeteilt. Das Land wird vom Syndikat und vom Mob regiert, zwei ehemaligen Gangsterorganisatio- nen, die sich im Laufe der Zeit zu Familienhierarchien entwickelten. Im Territorium des Syndikats herrschen die Falcaros, die es verstanden, ein liberales Dorado zu schaffen, in dem Freiheit und Lebensgenuß als allgemeine Maxime gelten. Der junge Charles Orsino ist eine Stütze des Syndikats. Er ist mit den herrschenden Falcaros entfernt verwandt und hat das »Geschäft« aus den guten, alten Zeiten Al Capones gründlich gelernt. Als Morde und Attentate das Gefüge des Syndikats bedrohen, übernimmt Charles einen Spionageauftrag, der ihn ins Lager des Gegners führt. Damit beginnt einer der faszinierendsten Romane, die auf dem Gebiet der Science Fiction je veröffentlicht wurden.
