Description:

Caution! You are about to enter a world... ...where all engineering ingenuity has been employed for public spectacles of torture and death. ...where the stock market operated with pari-mutuel machines. ...where a court clerk transcribes testimony on punch cards, then feeds it to a jury machine. ...where the dream real-estate development of today has become a cracked-concrete savage jungle. In this world, young lawyer Charles Mundin battles a great combine of corporate interest--battles them in board meetings and in dark alley--in a struggle that lays bare some brutal promises about the future...promises we are beginning to make right now.
