In a world without death…
she is dead.

Titus is no hero. Not even close. He’s not your typical eighteen-year-old, either. This is his fourth life…even if he can’t remember the ones that came before it.

Welcome to the Corporate States of America. For the poor, it’s a struggle to survive. The rich? They live their lives of excess on repeat.

But rich or poor, everyone knows about the mission to colonize Mars. Titus more than most. After all, his mother was on it.

The council said it failed. The reality is so much worse.

Now Titus is determined to find out what really happened. But even if he manages to avoid getting killed, maimed, or unwillingly roboticized, the truth could cost him more than just this life.

It could cost him every life to come…

WHAT AMAZON REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"This was such an enjoyable, engrossing, and sleep-depriving book, deftly written and impeccably edited."

"I loved the hacker girl so much. She was so badass and such an awesome character! And damn, this whole book was just one thing after another."

"With conspiracies, charming characters, a complex story, and Titus' determination to discover the truth, it was so well written it was really impossible to stop reading until the last page was finished."

"Mind-blowing! A mix between a dark, dystopian future and cyberpunk with a wonderful cast of characters who are complex, layered, and not always who and what they appeared."

"Titus' wry humor was easy to connect to. The characters were well-developed, believable, and interesting."

"A very well-written story of a possible dystopian future world with great world-building. The characters are well-developed, realistic, and very interesting. Action packed with plenty of twists and turns."

"The author does a great job of creating an immersive world and characters that you feel invested in. I'm reading it now for the second time. An absolute must for fans of the genre!"

"Full of adventure and mystery. A dystopian world that has a ring of truth to the world we are building today. "

"A fast-paced and gripping tale about an America ruled by eight megacorporations. I enjoyed it immensely. For sheer entertainment value, you can't do much better."

I took on this mortal coil in 1976 in Omaha, NE. As an only child, my parents were able to devote their existences to catering to my every whim. My Mom started by reading the newspaper to me, ensuring I was up to speed on current events. Once I outgrew the newspaper, she moved on to Golden Books. I read my first novel, Cujo, in the third grade. It hooked me, and I took to main-lining novels and working the libraries like an eight-year-old junky looking to score his next fix. I’ve been an avid reader ever since, throwing my lot with Frank and Joe Hardy, the three investigators, and much later, Roland Deschain and his ka-tet.

I somehow fooled Uncle Sam into believing I’d one day make a great leader of men, and he promptly shipped me off to the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, where I languished in a turmoil of emotions ranging from apathy to not giving a damn. This lent me to writing angst-filled poetry and short stories when I should have been paying attention in class or studying in the barracks, thereby resulting in the refinement of my craft and lending credence to that familiar idiom — you know, silver linings and all that.

In 1998, I graduated from West Point and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in Army Aviation. I attended flight school in Alabama, where I learned to wear cool shades and a leather jacket, and something about helicopters. Forgive me. It was some years ago, and my memory is fading faster than a cheap tattoo.

In 2013, I hung up my cool shades and leather jacket and donned a pocket protector and masking-tape-repaired glasses, transitioning from Army Aviation to Operations Research and Systems Analysis. I’d spent the last fifteen years refining my skills and building a solid foundation of knowledge, so I figured what better time than the twilight of my career to throw all that out the window and start from scratch in an entirely new field.

So how does the rest of my story go? I’ll tell you when I get there; it’s still a work in progress.

Hard to put down!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2020

Mr. John sets up a future in which governments have failed, leaving only wastelands and giant corporations have taken over. The United States is now ruled by eight specialized corporations which are dependent on one another. The powerful elites have access to medicines that prolong their lives to hundreds of years, then get cloned when that life is over, restarting at age 18, allowing them to stay in power for centuries, while the working class are barely able to survive.

Titus Remington is the spoiled oldest son of a corporation CEO, who is thrust into the top role when his father is found guilty of corporate treason and executed. Titus quickly learns that all is not straight up honest and he must choose whether to accept the status quo or to question it and work to expose the truth. He finds that his brother, his friends and their enemies all have good and bad traits, as they risk their lives through many encounters that test their wit and determination, achieving successes and setbacks. Can they survive to find justice?

This is well-written, with deeply developed characters and vivid scenery that pulls the reader in as part of the fast-paced action. It is an easy read that is hard to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more, hopefully a sequel to this story.

Epitome of Great Sci-Fi

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2020

Science Fiction is best when it's a believable future or alternate reality. Is a divided and corporate dominated United States where crime pays and justice is honored in the breach and pocketbook so incredible?!?
There's likable characters and characters you love to hate! Do you try to guess what's going to happen next, and then keep reading because you were surprised?!? This is that type of book... delightfully predictable and wonderfully surprising. It's a fast moving page turner that will leave you wanting more. Where's the sequel?!?
I'll read anything by this author...even go to the early stuff and can't wait for the next one! Great job entertaining me -- I appreciate this kind of work and I'll bet you will too! Dive in! Press the 'i believe' and lose yourself.

Gripping Dystopian Sci-fi

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Spoiled and immature rich scion Titus Remington is living the life of the few wealthy and powerful. His family rules one of eight megacorporations in a futuristic America, in which democracy has been replaced by an oligarchy run by family dynasties.The average citizen scrabbles to eat while the privileged wealthy clone themselves and continue their iron-fisted rule. Titus' playboy existence ends abruptly when his father is implicated in corporate espionage. With his best friend Ryo and a mercenary hacker, Titus must grow up quickly, put aside his carefree, privileged existence, and step in as CEO of Roman Biogenics to find the truth behind his mother's mission to Mars some fifty years prior.

Joseph John builds a compelling future America, ravaged environmentally and socially by profit-driven monopolistic corporations. He does not try to get too distracted by details, keeping the plot tight and moving. The conclusion satisfies, but the characters and the expansive world shaped by vulture capitalism merit a sequel.

Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

There were a lot of really good things about this book, starting with world building. It was a well constructed, and sadly very believable dystopian world, where nothing matters but the profit margin and no one is really anything more than a cog in the machine. Even the highest level company men, like our protagonist, are really captives of their place in of the corporation.

The characters were well fleshed out and became real people, with all the virtues, vices, and flaws of human beings. I'm hoping for a sequel to this book, as I really want to find out what happens to them next. I'm especially interested to hear more about Liviana, our badass female heroine.

The only thing I did not enjoy about this book, and this is more of a personal reading preference, was a long scene of video game play that was described in great detail near the beginning

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 8, 2017

Democracy Inc. sinks the hook in early. It is written and edited well. As a primarily non fiction reader, I found a lot to connect with in this book. Joseph does an amazing job immersing you inside this dystopian future world. Though obviously a work of fiction there is enough "it could happen" that keeps you turning the pages. This is the second book from Joseph John that I've read and I could not be happier. Don't hesitate, it's worth it.

This book took a bit to become understanding of the way the writes. There is a real good basis for a series. In a world of 8 competing mega-companies, the inter corporation shenanigans seem endless.
This book was very interesting and full of humor. I truly enjoined the book a and look forward to a sequel .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 24, 2018

Set in a world where the corporations have eliminated the veneer of government that pretends to be a democracy, an overprivileged CEO / king finds that, thanks to some information that has been hidden for years, his responsibilities are entirely different to those he had expected. With the help of unlikely allies, this turns into a thriller in a sci-fi world. A couple of cringeworthy virtual / augmented reality scenes don't stop this being a gripping tale where I wasn't sure if the people I was rooting for were the underdogs or not. Telling much more (as I expect some reviewers will do) may give away a few interesting twists that it will be more interesting to read as they happen on the page, so I'll let you discover the rest yourself

Dystopian, with the outcasts hopelessly trapped within the system

Democracy Inc. starts out like the first scene in The Matrix, and is no less interesting. The action grabs your attention, and questions form in your head, and you want to know more… a lot more.
Joseph John delivers. He gives us a look at the Earth as it could well be, 700 – 800 years from now. Eight corporations rule the planet from their separate “Arks”. Most of the planet is a lifeless ruin. The Council of Eight is made up of one CEO from each “Ark” The elite have unimaginable luxury, and are cloned at death so they can continue their lifestyle. For those in the base layers of each ”Ark”, it is one big company town. Citizens are owned by their corporation, and their destiny is to be worked to death to maintain the profit. Conspiracies and betrayals and the almost casual brutality of a police state and fight scenes that are nothing short of intense. And then, it really starts to pick up steam.
Yes, a following novel will pick up where this one takes a major change in direction. It will be worth the wait.

Action, conspiracy, intriguing tech and a formidably good read.

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on December 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Incredibly adept author places the reader right in the midst of this darkly oppressive future society where the corporations are in control and bottom-line profits are the new god.

Titus Remington, profligate, irreverent and entitled, suddenly finds himself thrust into a position of authority as he's expected to take up the mantle of his disgraced father.

This was such an enjoyable, engrossing and sleep-depriving book, deftly written and impeccably edited.

Titus was easy to connect to, his wry humour lightening what might have otherwise been a too sombre read. All the characters were well developed, believable and interesting. The world building well handled and the multitude of twists and turns ensured this was a completely compelling read.

This was another e-ARC I received and upon turning the final page went author-stalking on Amazon and promptly purchased my own copy - it's a definite for the re-read pile!
