Combining a ship finance textbook with a jet setting geopolitical
romp, Viking Raid picks up where The Shipping Man left off - on a
journey into the famously private world of international shipping
tycoons and their financiers. At the conclusion of The Shipping
Man, Robert Fairchild is sipping rose on the Cote d'Azur with Coco
Jacobsen and toasting to the success of their $300 million junk
bond offering; six months later the CEO is in the 120-degree engine
room of a supertanker discharging two million barrels of Saudi
crude oil - afraid for his job and afraid for his life. Fortunes
change quickly in the volatile world of international oil shipping
and Fairchild knows that unless he can find another $500 million
soon his powerful Norwegian tanker tycoon boss will have little use
for him. When Robert convinces Coco to attempt an Initial Public
Offering of Viking Tankers on Wall Street, the desperate American
thinks his problems may have been solved - but the former hedge
fund manager couldn't be more wrong. Instead, Fairchild finds
himself stuck between an American shale gas wildcatter and The
Peoples' Republic of China in their competition for clean energy.
Combining swashbuckling shipping adventure with corporate finance
derring-do, Viking Raid puts Fairchild back at the table in the
highest-stakes casino in the world - with more than just his deal
at risk.
