The Cartels Jungle by Irving E. Cox, Jr. audiobook.

Genre: scifi

In a future where Earth has been reshaped by catastrophe and power has consolidated into a few ruthless cartels, Captain Max Hunter comes home from the space service with one simple plan: marry Ann Saymer and help her open a clinic. Ann is brilliant, idealistic, and on the verge of unveiling her greatest achievement - a revolutionary psychiatric device known as the Exorciser, a machine that can reach into the mind and change what people feel and fear. But before Max can trade uniforms for a quiet life, Ann vanishes, and whispers spread that her invention has drawn the attention of rival dynasties and their enforcers, who run society through a brittle mix of corporate rule, propaganda, and manufactured peace. Driven by love and a stubborn moral code, Max plunges into the glittering resorts, guarded precincts, and forbidden zones where the cartel elite live above everyone else. Each step toward Ann pulls him deeper into a maze of deception, factional politics, and psychological warfare, where the promise of a better world may be nothing more than a new kind of cage.
