COMPRADOR-what's it about? Like Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, this is
about a singular man, who has earned the right to answer to no one
but himself...and the beliefs he stands for... Setting: Recall the
financial meltdown suffered by the western world in 2007? America
taking the biggest hit of all. Within a decade came yet another
uppercut; one too many, too hard and too quickly. Breaking the U.S.
Treasury with their wild, unchecked spending schemes, the
politicians had spawned yet another tailspin the country couldn't
pull out of...overwhelmed by debt, with fear polluting everyday
life, the vaunted free-enterprise system buckles. Tricked into
coming to Washington to collect nine tons of gold owed him by the
government, Rushton Culhane, a comprador nonpareil, eventually
rights the mess he finds...but at huge cost to himself and to much
of the world. REVIEWS: "A winner..."-Lee Iacocca "A fast-paced
thriller"-Los Angeles Times "An extremely well-written story of
deceit, treachery, chicanery and world power."-ALA Booklist
"Clever, stylish, demanding...discomforting. The U.S. predicament
seems all too plausible."-The Washington Post "Sardonic,
sophisticated...this high-spirited tale is told with style, wit and
economy. David Cudlip's prose is a joy."-New York Times Book Review
"David Cudlip has mastered the art of international commodity
trading. One of the rare books written on the art of physical
commodity trading that spans the globe. As a trader myself, I must
say that Cudlip has a lock on the chaos, intrigue, and stress that
is involved in trading raw products. Throw in a few murders and
several larger than life characters and you have a winner. If you
can put this book down before finishing, I'll eat my hat."-by a
customer (as posted on Amazon). ..".such a good writer as David
Cudlip should not be out of print -Constance Cappel, former editor
of Vogue (as posted on Amazon).
