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.

Dynasties of the Sea is the first book to examine one of the most
powerful forces in global trade and economic development: world
shipping and the magnates who drive the industry. Operating from
Monaco to Hong Kong, London to Athens, Singapore to Oslo,
shipowners and their financiers have changed the world in every
way. From transporting agricultural products from Brazil to Africa
and the Middle East, to delivering Australian iron ore to China, to
carrying Middle East crude oil to Asia and the Americas, to
carrying almost every article of clothing you are wearing and every
electronic device in the world, shipowners have enabled global
economic development and helped raise the global standard of
living. While ocean shipping remains one of the most important
businesses in the world, it is also one of the most volatile.
Affected by such imponderables as weather and political upheaval,
shipowning cultures have maintained their commitment to an industry
that has endured for centuries - and will continue to endure for
centuries to come. The candid and detailed first-person profiles
that comprise Dynasties of the Sea provide critical insight into
the psychology of today's generation of shipping magnates, from how
they view risk - politically, economically and environmentally - to
what they see transpiring in the world tomorrow.
