The Kollin brothers introduced their future world, and central character Justin Cord, in their Prometheus Award-winning novel, The Unincorporated Man. Justin created a revolution in that book, and is now exiled from Earth to the outer planets, where he is a heroic figure. Corporate society, which is headquartered on Earth and rules Venus, Mars, and the orbital colonies, wants to destroy Justin and reclaim hegemony over the outer planets. The first interplanetary war begins as the military fleet of Earth attacks.

Filled with battles, betrayals, and triumphs, The Unincorporated War is a full-scale space opera that catapults the focus of the earlier novel into the solar system. Justin remains both a logical and passionate fighter for the principles that motivate him, and the most dangerous man alive.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Appealing characters, ruthless villains, and speed-of-light pacing make this a good choice for fans of battle-oriented sf and heroic space adventure in the tradition of Robert Heinlein and David Weber.” ―Library Journal on The Unincorporated War

“The Kollins's masterful command of multiple plot threads, characters, and the motifs of grand-scale space opera make for a breathtaking sequel.” ―Booklist on The Unincorporated War

“Reminiscent of Heinlein--a good, old-fashioned, enormously appealing SF yarn. Bravo!” ―Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award–winning author of Rollback, on The Unincorporated Man

LOVE THIS BOOK!

Book in great condition, seller had excellent communication, shipped fast, and book was priced very fairly.

Not bad but not as satisfying as the first book

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2010

I read the first book in this eventual trilogy and was very impressed. "The Unincorporated Man" is the story of Justin Cord, a businessman with terminal cancer, who gets himself frozen in the 21st century and is eventually revived in the 24th. Here he finds himself in a world where everyone becomes a legal corporation at birth and spend their lives trying to attain a majority of their own shares. The human race has by now expanded to inhabit the whole solar system all the way to the Oort cloud. The concepts are very well thought out and the science fiction is definitely of the hard variety with sound extrapolation of today's science several hundred years into the future. There is also a good villain, the evil Hektor Sambianco. This book reminded me in some ways of "The Space Merchants", the classic fifties novel by Frederick Pohl and C M Kornbluth of a future world dominated by big business.

The first book ends with Justin refusing to play the incorporation game, seeing it as slavery by another name. He is exiled to the outer solar system where he becomes somewhat of an anti incorporation messiah in the outer planets which leads to a war with the incorporation dominated inner solar system. This is where The Unincorporated War takes up the story and it's quite a different book in many ways being mostly dominated by epic space battles which I have to admit became a bit tedious after a while. It's also more verbose with plenty written about religious philosophy and I think could have been shorter. Interwoven in the story are the attempted manipulation of humanity by the avatars, self aware artificial intelligences who inhabit the future internet. Still, it's refreshing to see a well researched hard science fiction story like this and the authors deserve a lot of credit. The Unincorporated War has a cliffhanger ending and it's not clear how the story will conclude. Regardless of my slight reservations, I will definitely be buying the third book.

I've decided to give this four stars but if fractional stars were allowed it would probably be a strong 3 1/2. I didn't write a review for The Unincorporated Man but if I had it would have been a 5.

Solid book, not as inspired as the first one, but still quite good

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

There is a lot of complaining about this book. While it is not as fresh as the fist book in the series, The Unincorporated Man, it is a solid, well told story. Contrary to many of the reviews, it does indeed follow logically from the first book, and the writers, quite wisely in my opinion, expand the focus of the story from one character to the larger social setting.

Justin is still a main character, and the the spark from which the story originates, but the actions precipitated by his actions have had wide ranging social implications, and that is what this story is about. other characters come to the fore, you learn more about the society Justin has woken up in, and the changes it is going though.

It is more of a space opera story than the first book was and has a bit of that Empire Strikes Back, "oh, things aren't going so well for the protagonists," feeling.

I think much of the disappointment in the reviews stems from how much the reader is drawn into Justin's character in the first book. People want more of that feeling, but I think that this book would not be as good, or as wide ranging a story as it is if the authors had been afraid to look beyond the primary character of the first book.

Solid, well told, thoughtful book.

The Kollin brothers are your safe bet

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2010

Dani and Eytan Kollin's first book was a brilliantly intellectual novel which combined the best of the golden age of sci fi's methods with the Kollins' own unique voice, style and ideas. This sequel doesn't just follow behind, it charges boldly ahead - further exploring the concepts and hypotheticals presented in the first, and introducing new ones that you'll be delighted to explore.

The Kollins seem incapable of writing anything boring. Unincorporated Man is full of action and adventure, but is intellectually stimulating as it takes a clever concept and runs with it, uncovering every nook and cranny and social consequence. The worldbuilding is rich and multi-layered; there are a multitude of concepts that lesser writers would make a whole book out of. The Kollins merely mention these in passing. You are left feeling that the world of Unincorporated Man and Unincorporated War really could happen, and isn't that far away.

The Kollins also excel at building rich, believable characters. Tough political and social issues are presented without judgement and the novel never feels preachy. The plot moves along quickly but not so fast that it feels shallow, and you feel a genuine concern about the outcome. What's best is that you not only CARE how it turns out, you're not sure how it will turn out. Unlike many modern novels, anything could happen. The Kollins are not afraid to kill their characters or do awful things to them.

In all, it's safe to say that the Kollins have written another fantastic novel. This isn't junk food for the brain, it's thought-provoking sustenance and a joy to read.

Overlong sequel lacking the ingredients that made the first book such a success

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Despite not being a big sci-fi fan, I loved 'The Unincorporated Man' and so was keen to read this, the first of several sequels. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an example of a good idea that did not bear stretching out into a saga. The first book was clever, full of political skulduggery and more about characters pitching their wits against each other in boardrooms and courtrooms than in shooting matches. I cared deeply about the characters, especially Justin Cord, the 'unincorporated' man of title - reanimated several centuries into the future. For all those reasons, I expected a lot of this follow-up.

The first problem is that I'd forgotten a lot of the first book - it's a few years since I read it, and it's a long and complicated tale. A short summary at the beginning reminding us of the events - and perhaps more importantly, the characters -of the first novel, would have greatly enhanced my reading pleasure. As it was I felt I never did fully remember some of the characters and it was frustrating as I tried to dredge up the backhistory of various members of Justin's cabinet in particular.

The second issue was that Justin was no longer such a strong central character. I did not build the same bond with him as a character this time and was much less invested in his fate. He didn't get a lot of page time, and when he did, it was more to act as a sort of moral figurehead president than someone who felt like a real and complex character. His archenemy, the evil Hektor Sambianco, is a more compelling character which isn't helpful when you're trying to root for the 'goodie'.

Finally, the cleverness and delicacy of the first book was replaced by space battles. Lots and lots of space battles. You want to read about spaceships shooting each other? This is the place to do it. They are well written space battles, it's true. Many are won by cleverness and sneaky tactics. But ultimately there is only so much fascination that can be gained from accounts of gun battles between the asteroids. In this sense it was more of a 'conventional' sci-fi than the first novel and thus lost the unique selling point that gave the original so much appeal.

It's also a very long book - a major undertaking to read - so not a novel you want to have to spend counting down the pages until you've finished. It's a shame because there was a lot of promise here, but I won't be reading the remaining books. I'm going to try to wipe this installment from my mind and simply enjoy my memory of 'The Unincorporated Man' as a stand alone novel.
