What is The Merchant's War about?
A dystopian future, where unrestrained growth has ruined the Earth, and produced a two-tiered world with an ad-company elite, and a huge underclass of “consumers.” It is many years after the events of The Space Merchants, and ad-man Tennison Tarb is ready to return to Earth from an agonizing stay on the weird dystopia built by the conservationists on Venus. But, the world has changed since Tarb left, and he does not know all of the new rules. It’s a weird future that Tarb has to survive in, especially if he is going to make a difference. The author includes political, religious, advertisement, cultural and military satire all wrapped up in a cozy sci-fi blanket.
