Book Description
Liam Carroll's debut novel, Slippery, shines a blowtorch on the fundamental truths of the finance industry and the hedonistic world of the expatriate lifestyle in Southeast Asia. Flynn James, a young man from the Sydney beachside suburb of Manly, previously content to live his life as a physiotherapist and surfer on Australia's east coast, is awakened to the big bonuses on offer in the trading game. He abandons health sciences, embraces the greed is good mantra and manages to flare past thousands of candidates in a Geneva simulation trading day exercise, ushered through the shady doors of a fiercely private Swiss commodities trading company and set on the path to oil trading superstardom. Based in Singapore and Shanghai, Flynn learns the ropes of commodities dealing at breakneck haste. With the arrival of his first seven-figure bonus, the glossy veneer of his overpaid world crumbles, setting the stage for a shattering finale. Much more than another mere exposé on the world of trading, Slippery is an adventure/thriller. It explores the gritty realities of successful commerce in the corporate maelstrom of Southeast Asia, the inevitable moral compass decimation when you place money above all else and is done so with a side-splitting, bitter self-loathing, terminal awareness. You won't be able to put it down.

Hand Trembler
Author: Gerald Hausman
Publisher: Speaking Volumes
ISBN: 1628158379
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Hand Trembler is about one man’s emergence through Native rituals as he travels through the mythical underworlds of the Navajo. Actual Hand Tremblers, though few exist today, do live on the Navajo reservation and they still perform their ancient art of divination: finding the cause of illness, lost objects and even missing people. The narrator is a hand trembling diviner whose particular art involves shapeshifting. This dangerous skill leaves him trapped between worlds and shifting identities while being hunted by a brutal extra-terrestrial enemy. As the novel progresses, the narrator encounters his long lost friend Etienne, the French/Filipino healer; Joogii, the mind reading Navajo artist and mythologist; and Al-lan, the star traveller. In a series of amusing and suspenseful misadventures, the author takes us on a spin through the intricate cosmology of the Navajo, giving us yet another close look at the deities who inform this mysterious and beautiful culture. “The eccentricity, lunacy, magic, and malevolence that lurk beneath the surface... The memorable characters, out-of-sequence narrative, and cockeyed viewpoint.”—The Horn Book “Ghosts, demons, fearsome predators, and wise old men who take the innocent in hand—fantasy and fable, humor and heart.” —Not Since Mark Twain: Stories, Stay Thirsty Press “Hausman honors Native American philosophy and spirituality even as he reveals it.”—Pat Monaghan Booklist
