Book excerpt: The master manipulation carried out by Victor using mostly Stefan’s sourced funds is now almost over as the goal has been reached and the mega payday is in place. The Japanese Yen has tanked and crashed carrying along an entire proud nation and all its denizens and companies alike. The might of Japan is no more! Greed and deception have now replaced sheer genius of what the deal of the Century was! Please read Book One of The Crash of the Rising Sun before reading Book 2 to get a thorough comprehension of how the events took place and what transpired and led to: Book 2 of The Crash of the Rising Sun! The Revenge! The Crash of the Rising Sun is based on actual events that took place in 1989 in Japan. The Crash that resulted from the major economic crisis of that spring is still today, attributed to a real estate meltdown. But nobody ever dwelt further on the real cause or causes of the crisis. While suggested by actual events this story is in its entirety a work of fiction. All character names have been invented. All characters have been composited or invented and all incidents have been fictionalized. The story that follows is loosely based on Historical facts. But, whereas some of the events that take place are real, the characters, names and causes are purely fictional and as such just a figment of my imagination. If any person, entity, or others feel that what is written resembles them and what happened to them, then it is purely coincidental and I, for one, beg for forgiveness as my intentions were never to harm anybody or disclose any secrets, trade secrets or others! I hope that the reader will have as much pleasure as me in reading this novel as I had while writing it!
