Hostile Takeover Series by S. Andrew Swann

In the 24th century, the human race spans 84 worlds. All but one accept the rule of the Terran Confederacy. Welcome to Bakunin--you've entered a world of hardcore criminals, ruthless super-corporations and anarchy--a world where lawlessness means higher profit. Now the Confederacy wants a piece of the action. This is the first in a new high-action trilogy.

This sequal to Profiteer returns readers to the 24th century universe at a time when humans have built a star spanning Confederacy that encompasses 84 worlds minus one--Bakunin. Now the Confederacy wants control of Bakunin. But Dominic Magnus has spent years building his own corporate empire there, and he and his allies intend to hold on to what they've built.

The planet Bakunin has always been the perfect refuge for the galaxy's rebels, criminals, and corrupt supercorporations. But now it's been slated for a hostile takeover by key factions of the Confederacy of Worlds. Bakunin should be an easy target--except that its natives don't understand the meaning of the word surrender!

In the 24th century, humans have built a star-spanning Confederacy that encompasses 83 worlds-plus one. The 84th planet is Bakunin, where power belongs to whoever can seize it. With no taxes, no antitrust laws, and no governing body, it's the perfect home base for mega-corporations and criminals.
