A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor Wallace Bradley, the Nobel Prize-nominated Oxford economist, is obsessed with one thing: the financial destruction of the world's second economic superpower, Japan. To achieve his aims he creates 'The Pegasus Forum', an Oxford philosophical society, and recruits as undergraduates a group of idealistic collaborators, unaware of his personal motivation, who rise over the years to positions of influence from which they deliberately start a financial wildfire to threaten world stability.
They are pursued in their plot by investigative journalist James Emerson, who begins to uncover evidence of a conspiracy as he follows the exploding financial crisis around the globe for his newspaper.
As the financial wildfire blazes out of control, with Emerson in hot pursuit, Wallace Bradley prepares to deliver the coup de grace to his ultimate nemesis, Japan. Before doing this he cannot resist visiting Tokyo to confront an old man, the human embodiment of his hatred for that country. The novel reaches its climax as the two men meet...
