Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A smashing, walloping great yarn with a hidden agenda!This is the story about Ben and his adventures in the underworld.Our hero Ben grew up knowing only the goodness of life. Loving parents, supportive friends, and caring teachers. Intelligent and moral, Ben was destined for a life full of promises. He was accepted by the top university. The path ahead of him was painted in nothing but rose-color.Then little things occurred. Suddenly it all took a turn; a turn that led to an uncharted labyrinth, a passage into life's dark side, the underworld, that which is known as Black Society; that is, organized crime.Ill-equipped for the treachery of open society, Ben simply took on what came his way and marched forward undauntedly. However, in no time at all he was deeply into an unfamiliar world from which there was no escape. He was shocked, and could not understand why certain things happened. Yet you cannot see it from his demeanor, which was always calm and cool. He learned, often from the best teachers, and dealt with the adversities.But was he merely pulled in by the forces of reality, or did he actually have a fascination for the unsavory elements of Evil? Indeed, did he have an agenda of a personal nature that required his venturing into the less-than-desirable precincts of living? Regardless, Ben seemed naturally gifted to tackle what came his way, until he must confront the arch rival, the veritable Satan incarnate himself. For Ben it was a struggle of life and death.No one at the young age of twenty-something should experience what Ben did, yet he was undaunted, even though he realized that he was up against a powerful entity. The enemy was enormous; way more than what one individual could contest, but Ben took it on. Instead of folding, he built his own force by enlisting only the capable and the trusted. If he had to travel around the world for this, so be it.He did have one advantage, though. He was too small, and untried to be reckoned seriously. As a result, the enemy found it hard to pin him down. This gave him time to device his strategy, and step by step and move by move young Ben matched his foe's challenge. However, was it enough? Could a young man, basically inexperienced, survive a mighty foe the likes of the Mafia?Thus, he formed an inner circle with his childhood pals and new acquaintances, one of whom was a elderly man with a mysterious past. With this cadre Ben took on the mighty rival.Well, he also had a twin brother, whom he did not know.Suspense, thriller, crime, revenge, treachery, murder, adventure, action, violence, romance, heroes, villains, twisty plots, diversions, misleading evidence, yes, you get all that. The book begins slowly with meticulous background and character developments, then the rhythm picks up and the story drives toward a fast-paced climax. It is the Kingda Ka roller-coaster ride of a tale; a unique saga of a crime thriller. It juggernauts toward the explosive ending, then a dastard twist pops out; a secret that had been there all along.That is the real reason why you want to read this book. Lurking behind the story is a deviously wicked subtext designed specifically for you to uncover; one which you may not suspect because it is cunningly camouflaged, and you may not catch on until virtually the very end. The author never spells it out, and he even throws in Hong Kong as a diversion to misdirect your attention. Yes, you will learn much about Hong Kong, but that has nothing to do with the scheme. It is a red herring. For all we care, the story could have been set in Marseille, New Orleans, Vancouver, Rio de Janeiro, or Cape Town. You must discover the Easter egg yourself, and that is the real joy of this unique caper.That is the delight.Find out now!
