| Summary | "Monopoly" by Vic Phillips and Scott Roberts is a science fiction novel written during the early 1940s. Set on the planet Venus, the narrative revolves around themes of power, rebellion, and exploration of a corporate monopolistic society. The book addresses the dynamics of control and the struggles of individuals against oppressive regimes in a futuristic setting. The story follows Brian Hanson, the head of the Venus Consolidated Research Organization, who finds himself unexpectedly entangled in a rebel uprising against a tyrannical company regime led by the sinister Serono Zeburzac. After a series of misadventures, including a mistaken arrest linked to the rebel Crystal James, Brian becomes a fugitive alongside her. They navigate perilous escape attempts and confrontations, discovering the lengths to which the ruling powers will go to maintain control. As they delve deeper into a rebellion that promises hope for freedom, they endure harrowing challenges, including clever attempts at sabotage, life-threatening confrontations, and the moral dilemmas of war. Ultimately, the novel culminates in a dramatic clash between the remnants of old power structures and the new revolutionary forces. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
