Chock full of twists and turns, this novel is a great example of conspiracy theory meets suspense thriller. Set in the future, the people are taxed to the max, especially for sex and entertainment. Taxman and the Cowboy set out to change things. But who is really in charge? Who is keeping people marked and downtrodden? Who gives the order for so many deaths? The main characters are realistic. The world building is thorough. The plot is believable. Overall there is enough body to keep the reader interested.

I found it hard to review this book without just starting to tell the story.
Basically it's a satirical view of a divided multiclass society in the future who all of them are been controlled by the government through taxation and brainwashing. Leaving people with very little individual reasoning. Again an upraising is about to happen. But who is behind it? The people or the government who might allow this in other to strengthen their hold over the population even more. And for how long has this control been going on? Samples are shown through earlier centuries that this is nothing new.
The book is not left with a cliffhanger but it does leave enough possibilities for a continuing saga. I probably would read a follow-up to see how TaxMan deals with it all.

Won this book through Goodreads.
I really enjoyed this book, just lots of actions, TAXMAN is codename, and like Robinhood who likes to help the poor, very interested read. Sci Fi. Read it, you will enjoy.
