The Earth has been torn away from the Sun, kidnapped by a runaway planet , whose inhabitants - enigmatic, utterly alien Pyramids - have their own plans for Earth's resources. And humankind, depending for warmth on a constantly renewed but woefully inadequate Moon, wracked by hunger and ruled by a slavish conformity to tradition, is dying out. But there are those who defy convention and refuse to give in. Feared and persecuted by the ordinary citizens, these 'Wolves' are preparing to fight back against the Pyramids.

Der Kampf um die Weltherrschaft Das Amerika des beginnenden 22. Jahrhunderts ist zweigeteilt. Das Land wird vom Syndikat und vom Mob regiert, zwei ehemaligen Gangsterorganisatio- nen, die sich im Laufe der Zeit zu Familienhierarchien entwickelten. Im Territorium des Syndikats herrschen die Falcaros, die es verstanden, ein liberales Dorado zu schaffen, in dem Freiheit und Lebensgenuß als allgemeine Maxime gelten. Der junge Charles Orsino ist eine Stütze des Syndikats. Er ist mit den herrschenden Falcaros entfernt verwandt und hat das »Geschäft« aus den guten, alten Zeiten Al Capones gründlich gelernt. Als Morde und Attentate das Gefüge des Syndikats bedrohen, übernimmt Charles einen Spionageauftrag, der ihn ins Lager des Gegners führt. Damit beginnt einer der faszinierendsten Romane, die auf dem Gebiet der Science Fiction je veröffentlicht wurden.

The Space Merchants is a 1952 science fiction novel by American writers Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth. Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine as a serial entitled Gravy Planet, the novel was first published as a single volume in 1953, and has sold heavily since. It deals satirically with a hyper-developed consumerism, seen through the eyes of an advertising executive. In 1984, Pohl published a sequel, The Merchants' War. In 2012, it was included in the Library of America omnibus American Science Fiction: Four Classic Novels 1953–1956. Pohl revised the original novel in 2011 with added material and more contemporary references. It was rated the 24th "all-time best novel" in a 1975 Locus poll, jointly with The Martian Chronicles and The War of the Worlds. The novel was also included in David Pringle's list of 100 best science fiction novels.
