Insurgence

About “Insurgence”

Ken MacLeod's novel continues the Corporation Wars trilogy, set in a future where interstellar drone warfare, virtual reality, and an A.I. revolution shape the conflict. The story centers on DH-17, an Earth-like planet far from human settlements, which becomes the target of ruthless corporations competing remotely. Soldiers deployed to fight in deep space face challenges including A.I. rebellion and a team led by Carlos 'the Terrorist,' a group of dead mercenaries revived from a violent period on Earth with a single mission: to kill. As old and new rivalries arise, Carlos must choose between fighting for the company or fighting for himself.
