Capitalism and love, and the technology that controls them.
Wayne is the Wall Street trader, a short-seller; he bets against
the market's rise, gambles big money and profits hugely from the
collapse of entire economies and cultures all from the remote
comfort of his Gloomberg terminal. To accomplish this, Wayne
enlists the aid of a cryptic Corsican whose own culture and
identity are fast disappearing in the rise of a universal
nationality -- one whose common language is email and whose
treasured artifacts are zipped into slick JPEGs, viewed only in
thumbnail size. Unbeknownst to them, both men are involved with
the same woman, an architecture student named Alix who lives in
Marseille. But while she and the Corsican have a physical
relationship, it is the playfully erotic and strangely elusive
email correspondence between Alix and Wayne that evokes both
passion and tenderness.

Christian
Gillette is chairman of Everest Capital, the largest private
equity fund in the country. He's got a lot on his plate:
open a new casino and launch an
NFL franchise in Las Vegas, be the running mate of dynamic U.S.
senator Jesse Ford, odds-on favorite to make history as the
first black president. But Samuel Hewitt, chairman of U.S. Oil,
wants Christian to join a shadow organization,
the
Order, which has
manipulated financial and historical events in the country since
the society's inception in 1839. Members are concerned that
America is falling under the control of minorities Christian
realizes–maybe too late–that in a
grudge match between kingmakers
hell-bent on victory at all costs, he may be the last pawn
sacrificed.

Everest Capital, New York’s most renowned private equity firm.
No stranger to Jesse Wood, the first African American president
of the United States (Wood’s chosen running mate in his historic

eleventh hour). Gillette’s not about to ignore the chief
executive’s summons to a top-secret meeting at Camp David. The
president of Cuba is dead. United States is poised to
support a cabal of Cuban professionals plotting a coup. The
President wants Gillette to meet with the conspirators and size
up the chances for a successful capitalist revolution. But by no
means can his mission be traced back to the White House. If
anything goes wrong, Gillette is on his own. For Gillette, who
has just named his alluring and ambitious protégé, Allison
Wallace, as his successor at Everest, the
greatest peril may lie much closer to home.
