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. no reviews | add a review
