THE CALIPHATE Review

Wall Street, kidnapping and appreciating currency are what THE CALIPHATE is all about. 

The prologue describes a woman setting up a boat to explode.  There are several characters in this scene but I was confused as to who was who and what exactly was happening even after reading the whole prologue. 

Trent Lambert is the CEO of a large company.  He has the power to depreciate the currency of countries when he wheels his power.  With the ins and outs of the Stock Exchange, it was hard for me to follow what was happening.  Most of it went right over my head.

Lambert's son, Eric, is kidnapped.  The price for his return is to bring the South East Asian currencies back to their former value in one week.  Lambert's wife asks him to contact the FBI.  The problem with that is that they are investigating him for securities fraud.

If you want to read about how powerful people twist and turn the world's currencies and the trouble in the economy of the countries of the world, then this book is one you should get.
