Book excerpt: For one 1970s teenager, winning at poker and winning on Wall Street go hand-in-hand: “A coming-of-age story for the ages.” —Peter Lattman, vice chairman, The Atlantic In the wake of his mother’s death, Rogers Stout has no choice but to grow up fast. By high school, he already has the gambler’s gifts: a titanic brain, an uncanny ability to read people, and a risk-taker’s daring. All he lacks is direction . . . Everything changes the summer before his senior year when Rogers is invited into the boisterous environment of an investment bank’s trading room—and to a gambling hall dive where he immediately wins big at poker, capturing the attention of his coworkers with his card-playing skills. Intrigued by trading markets, Rogers’s intellectual curiosity takes him to Wharton and then Wall Street, where he faces challenges as an outsider who thinks and acts differently from the white-shoe establishment. Riding professional and personal highs and lows—like the stock market crash of 1974—he’ll have to learn to rebound, if he’s to survive . . . An intriguing look at human aspiration and the interplay of honor, greed, fear, and individuality, this novel reveals a time when a new generation upended the status quo on Wall Street and forever changed investing. “A rip-roaring yarn of baseball, poker, and Wall Street told with humor and humanity, and a loving rendering of Wharton in the seventies.” —Geoffrey Garrett, dean, The Wharton School “[An] absorbing story of an aspiring Wall Street trader.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: "I see him riding in on a Harley, the Jesus of my day. His hair is long and wild from the wind and it looks like he's been on the road for a while. But his eyes are still bright, and he smiles when he sees me. I guess he travels light because his saddlebags are mostly empty..." Take a ride with a man who is forced to discover what a modern day Jesus would do; where he would go and what he would wear. Would he have tattoos, and if so, how many? What type of people would he hang with, and what might cause a scandal if he were doing it right here and now? Experience a journey on the back of a Harley - a ride where faith and fiction collide with the non-fiction that sustains it; where imagination becomes wonder, and wonder itself leads to action.

Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, while America was reeling from the chaos caused by the second major fabricated oil shortage in history, Tom Archer, climbed aboard the SS WESTERN SEA, the first and largest Ultra Large Crude Carrier in the American fleet. Displacing over 400,000 tons, she was designed to stockpile 3,000,000 barrels of crude oil in floating storage, starving the refineries and driving oil prices up. As the new second officer and navigator his job was to safely take this behemoth, too large and deep for any American port, to the worlds deep water refineries, storage facilities and production ports, often transferring the oil at anchor or underway at sea due to the lack of those facilities in most regions. The evidence of the manipulation of the U.S. oil supply can be found in the log books of these ships and in the personal logs of the officers. This is the story of those voyages, during the middle of the crisis, coming directly from the navigator's personal log.
