Thomas Tye heads a corporation so large it has soverignship of an island, has purchased the world's finest minds and is accountable to noone. Emergence follows multiple strands of scientific development and their effects upon Earth and its people, for the better or the worse. The science developed is near future and Emergence's success lies in the credibility of its science fiction. Hammond creates a dazzling vision of the future - with tantalizing forethought. However, what happens when one man owns it all? Emergence, although lengthy, will create an answer that you may or may not like - read it and find out. Fascinating fiction.

Imagine a near-future world where one giant corporation has become so influential that no single government dare oppose it -- not even the mighty USA. A company so powerful that it can establish an independent country to serve as its unassailable headquarters. That company is Tycom, and its founder - Thomas Tye - has made it his evangelical mission to save the Earth from ecological ruin. Already the orbital installations that can manipulate this battered planet's climate are near completion -- while the military backing of an erstwhile superpower is guaranteed. But Tom Tye's seeming altruism carries a price that the rest of the developed world is no longer prepared to pay. "Emergence" is the dramatic and multi-layered story of a hydra-headed fight against Tycom and its despotic master. But will our planet be a better place without him?
