In tomorrow’s world, the global economy will rest upon the listing of humans on the stock market. But what sort of price will those whose shares are traded have to pay for their prosperity? The final volume of a painfully plausible trilogy.
Felix’s meteoric rise to the top has brought him much, but it also cost him dearly. Rachel has left him. His shareholders keep demanding ever more from him. Desperate, horrified, the young man is losing himself – but even that he is not allowed: Simon, the father of the HSE himself, puts him back on the right track by force. Because, in the public’s eyes, Felix is a success story, hope … And for the HSE, he’s the future of finance.
I still love the 1960s style covers. Simplistic but eye catching. I cannot really give any spoilers away on this. I never give spoilers otherwise why read a book?? The art, design and colour work are all spot on and this does feel like one of those 1960s semi urrealistic dramas -anyone remember Burt Lancaster in The Swimmer (1968)? HSE would have been a great movie of that period -wedged between The Swimmer and 1973s Soylent Green.
It's only three volumes and to be honest well worth the read. Comics and comic albums are not all about super heroes and science fiction. Some times we need a story where we think "This could happen" and HSE is it.
