Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan (Victor Gollancz, 2004) audiobook read by Simon Vance (Tantor, 2006) Near-future dystopia that mashes brutal, corporate-driven world politics with Shakespearean tragedy. Though deeply flawed, antihero Chris Faulkner almost charms as the embodiment of an increasingly dog-eat-dog society. It’s hard not to imagine him and Mike Bryant as Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt.
