Whilst this novel is a slightly slower pace than the Crash of '79 and The Last Days of America, it is nonetheless highly enjoyable.

It follows the plan of two rich Venezuelan brothers to bring the American economy to it's knees and as a by product make themselves a fortune. Backed by the help of Swiss & European banks their plan starts coming to fruition until ex-International Monetary Fund executive Paul Mayer becomes involved.

Terrorism, Soviet Union intrigue, spies, secretive Swiss banks and inflated American egos come together to form a good story. I was a little disappointed there wasn't more focus on the Swiss banks at the end of the novel but nonetheless a good read. ( )
