Financial Confrontation

By Chester Vittorio Franklin

This novel is a financial thriller set primarily in the time period of 2023 to 2025. The lives of two billionaires and their respective cadres intersect repeatedly over time, as the rich men vie for money, power, influence, assets, and the same woman. Their intense competition evolves beyond simply business into the realm of a highly motivated interpersonal confrontation. Progressively aggressive tactics are employed as the two individuals become driven by their egos and emotions in addition to their focus on profits. With access to virtually unlimited resources, are there really any limits to what such human beings might heap upon another in the absence of a moral compass? And what about the collateral damage to individuals, organizations, and companies that become engulfed and thereby plunged into the fighting arena?

The fast-paced tale takes the reader on a thrill ride across continents and cultures. Twists and turns confront the protagonists. The characters interact with various components of the capital markets, with a particular insight into the topics of private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and the stock market. Various aspects of the U.S. legal system also play an important role in the story, enhancing its realism. A diverse and interesting cast of supporting characters enrich the novel by injecting passion and humor.

Through a detailed narrative of historical fiction, the author invites the reader to contemplate multiple aspects of society, in particular the divide between the wealthy and the rest of humanity, and the difference between the politically and / or socially connected and those not so empowered. Individuals who enjoy financial and technical thrillers, mysteries, and stories that operate on several levels simultaneously will find Financial Confrontation an engaging and thought-provoking read.
