The K-Factor by Harry Harrison audiobook.
Genre: scifi
In Harry Harrison's The K-Factor, humanity has tried to make war obsolete by turning it into a measurable, manageable risk. The key tool is Societics, a hard-nosed, data-driven science that treats whole cultures like systems and watches for the smallest shift that can trigger a runaway chain reaction. When the frontier planet Himmel begins showing a sudden, inexplicable rise in its k-factor - the war factor - veteran field operative Neel Sidorak is pulled from routine work and sent to find out why. Working under the weary guidance of Societics' aging founder and partnered with his assistant Adao Costa, Neel is dropped into a tense colonial society where independence movements, political pride, and old resentments are building pressure by the hour. But the numbers do not lie, and they hint at something worse than local unrest: someone may be feeding dangerous knowledge to the wrong hands, pushing Himmel toward a catastrophic point of no return. As Neel races to map the real forces shaping the planet, he must decide how far a supposedly peaceful civilization should go to prevent a war before it starts.
