Terror on Wall Street

100% chance of failure, with hope in the forecastA "shock and awe" metafiction thriller from the best selling author critics hail as 'one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene.'The year is 2020, and the world is on the brink of economic collapse. Can a group of "whiz kids" led by an absent-minded professor and a 24 year old girl save us? The crash of the stock market has created a rippling effect of disastrous proportions. Banks have failed, and people are rioting in the streets of the cities, which are on fire. Rolling blackouts have given way to entire system failures. University of Chicago Economics Professor Harry Mason, advisor to U.S. presidents and the Treasury Department, has gathered his dream team of "whiz kids," the brightest and the best graduate students in Economics, for a special laboratory class. Their mission: to save the world. But is it too late?

Fiction author Kenneth Eade and non-fiction author Gordon L. Eade team up to give you a meta-fiction thriller designed to show how to survive the next crash.

Discover what critics are saying: "An homage to a father and another first class novel from Kenneth Eade!" Grady Harp, Top 100, Hall of Fame and Vine Voice

Discover what readers already know: "I believe if I had read this book 30 years ago, I would have a lot more money in the bank today. Do not be fooled by the fact it is described as fiction. The fiction is simply used to bring forth facts. I will be using some of the facts that I learned to improve my investment returns."L. Klopping

"Should be read by everyone, learned so much. Year 2020, world economy is collapsing. This book and all the articles after the "Afterword" are to teach us how survive the next crash."Tulay C.

"Reading this book put me very much in the state of mind I was in during the Presidential race of 1992 listening to Ross Perot, telling of his predictions for the economic future of this country. We all knew he was absolutely correct, maybe somewhat understated, and we numbly sat their while the elite, using the media, cast him as a clown. It is not a question of if, it is merely a question of when. You do not have to be psychic, you need only do the math."JC Stadler

"A well-written, easy thriller to read, this is actually a financial survivalist book with a scholarly twist. If you have any savings at all, you should read it. If you liked The Big Short, this book travels the same road, but in defensive rather than aggressive mode. The book is written by Gordon L Eade, father of the political-legal-ecological thriller writer, Kenneth Eade. Like all the Eade books it is based on real complex events and systems, but tells its tale through its characters."Nerodog

About the author

Kenneth Eade

51 books180 followers
Described by critics as "one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene," author Kenneth Eade, best known for his legal and political thrillers, practiced law for 30 years before publishing his first novel, "An Involuntary Spy." Eade, an up and coming author in the legal thriller and courtroom drama genre, has been described by critics as "One of our strongest thriller writers on the scene and the fact that he draws his stories from the contemporary philosophical landscape is very much to his credit." He is often compared to John Grisham, whom many regard as the master of the legal thriller.

Says Eade of the comparisons, "Readers compare me in style to John Grisham and, although there are some similarities, because John also likes to craft a story around real topics and we are both lawyers, all of my novels are rooted in reality, not fantasy. I use fictional characters and situations to express factual and conceptual issues. Some use the term 'faction' to describe this style, and it is present in all my fictional works."

Eade has written twenty novels, which are now in the process of being translated into ten languages. He is known to keep in touch with his readers, offering free books and discounts to all those who sign up at his web site, www.kennetheade.com.

Good book. It proves that wall street has bad apples and even the quote "experts" don't tell you the truth but rather sway you towards funds and investments that they can make money on, never worrying about your well being.

As the author says, stick to basic low cost index funds. Over time his statistics show that they will obtain the best returns for you. Do it yourself and prosper.

Hugely informative.

I'm still not an expert on the market but I know a whole lot more. The facts built around some amazing students and their award-winning professor was a great teaching method. On top of all this financial knowledge, very entertaining. Highly recommend.
