The book is an expanded version of the novelette "Cold Cash War", published in the August 1977 issue of Analog. It takes place in a semi-dystopian near-future in which the enormous corporate cartels that have come to dominate the West have begun resolving their disputes with small-scale, nonlethal wars, fought by professional mercenaries.
