Gladiator-At-Law — Frederik Pohl
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 operates 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 interests -- battles them in board meetings and in dark alleys -- in a struggle that lays bare some brutal promises of the future...promises we are beginning to make right now.
“…wholly admirable, in both thinking and execution.” -- Galaxy
“Reminiscent in vigor, bite and acumen to THE SPACE MERCHANTS” -- Anthony Boucher.
“...possessed of a bite and savage vigor which makes it one of the outstanding science fiction novels of the year.” -- The New York Times
“...a powerfully convincing story.” -- New York Herald Tribune
