Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
No one knows the dark side of “The Street” better than master storyteller Stephen Frey, author of such riveting novels as Shadow Account and The Day Trader. Now, in his most ambitious work to date, Frey proves that no writer can put a high-powered hero at greater risk, nor offer readers more thrilling rewards. A towering legend among New York private equity partnerships, Everest Capital is aptly named. When its founder meets an untimely death, thirty-six-year-old superstar Christian Gillette gets the top job. But with the power and prestige come risks. The day he narrowly escapes a fiery explosion that consumes his limo and takes two innocent lives, Gillette instantly understands how intense those risks are. It comes as no surprise to him that he has enemies in the world of multibillion—dollar deals. But now that he controls Everest, he’s not going to let those enemies keep him from taking the firm–and himself–to even greater heights. Gillette has never hesitated to be aggressive, even ruthless, in his pursuit of success. This time will be no exception. But in order to forge the alliances necessary to achieve his goals, Gillette forsakes a cardinal rule: Never trust anyone. The only certainties are the insidious campaign of corporate sabotage that could cost Gillette his job and the relentless assassination attempts that could cost him his life. To break a deadly conspiracy of greed, he’ll be forced to walk–then run–an ever-blurring line between loyalty and betrayal, attack and retreat, survival and destruction . . . in the ultimate game of profit and loss. With The Chairman, Stephen Frey presides with intensified skill over the market he has so dramatically cornered–sharpening his patented brand of hard-boiled high-finance intrigue to its keenest cutting edge yet.

Andrew the Great
Author: M. King
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781986484640
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Who was Andrew Jackson? We see him every time an ATM spews out a bunch of $20 bills for us; and again and again when we spend those same bills. We hear or repeat his name, though perhaps not knowingly, whenever the well-known towns of Jacksonville, Florida or Jackson, Mississippi are mentioned; or any of the 14 towns and 22 counties throughout America which also bear his name. Beyond being the 7th President of the United States, this Andrew Jackson fellow sure must have been a man of some great accomplishment and significance -- and indeed he was. In addition to being able to identify his face on the most commonly circulated currency bill in America, and reciting the fact that he was a U.S. President, the "man-in-the-street," assuming he was awake during his schooling years, would probably be able to tell you that Jackson, as a general during the War of 1812, was the hero who defeated superior British forces at the Battle of New Orleans. On the negative side of Jackson's ledger, this same "average Joe," will also tell you that Jackson, a slave-owner, tormented and terrorized the Indians by marching them off of their lands and westward on "The Trail of Tears." (sniffle sniffle) But given Jackson's status as an immortalized "super-hero" of American history - yet fast becoming a "super-villain" -- there has got to be more to his story than most people know. There has also has got to be a reason, other than simply the passage of time, as to why fewer and fewer people today even know about the heroic deeds which made him a legend. And there must also be a reason why so many young people have become more familiar with his alleged mistreatment of the oh-so-blameless and gentle "Native Americans" than anything else he did. Would you believe that the culture-defining "powers that be" which today control academia, banking, media and even entertainment are the direct linear business/political descendants of -- and in at least one significant case, the actual direct genetic descendants of -- the corrupt elites which the dauntless Andrew Jackson battled and defeated during his presidency? It's true, and it's one of the greatest stories no longer told. It is the true story of Andrew the Great. Enjoy.
