New fiction for liberty lovers from a member of Galt's Gulch!

Posted by straightlinelogic 12 years, 2 months ago to Books

The Golden Pinnacle is published and available on Amazon as a book or Kindle download. A description:

Brilliant financier Daniel Durand builds a Wall Street empire during the Industrial Revolution. He acquires a glittering fortune, but also a long list of powerful enemies, including the father of his beautiful, strong-willed wife. The Winfields, a secretive, ruthless dynasty, vow to destroy him and covertly enlist his oldest son. They uncover a secret from his Civil War past that he thought was buried in a Mississippi swamp, a secret that could send him to the gallows. He plots a revenge that threatens his marriage—an attempt to ruin his son’s career in politics—but finds the tables turned humiliatingly against him. Ignoring public opinion, the support of the financial and political elite, and a mysterious warning, he testifies against a law that replaces gold with paper promises and imperils the nation’s hard-earned wealth. His family suffers ruthless retribution and tragic loss, but finds redemption and reconciliation.

  *Looks at the paperback price*
  
  Ooh, ouch, yeah, I can see why...
  
  What's the deal there? Why charge $214.79 for a single book?

    I reformatted my back cover to include a favorable quote from Kirkus Reviews, so I believe that is why there are none available for sale right now as a book. That should be corrected shortly and books will be available for around $20, which is where Amazon had them before. I am sorry for the confusion. Of course do not pay the prices of the third party sellers. It's a good book, but $309.28?

    the cheapest one is now 257.74...so someone bought the 214.79 one I guess. I have no idea, I was hoping for an answer to that.

      I am not sure but it 's possible he pulled the print version. I was looking at PoJ the other day and it was offered by a third party seller for $900. Which I thought very odd.

        The pricing has been restored on The Golden Pinnacle. It is again available at $20.72 to Amazon prime members. Sorry for the confusion.

My copy arrived from Amazon yesterday, and I look forward to reading it. Maphesdus is correct, Creature from Jekyll Island ...." is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the economic system and the power plays involved (and possible murders).
I also suggest "The Rockefeller Files" by Gary Allen and "Hope of the Wicked" by Ted Flynn for any who want to understand how our government and country are changing and why. We refer to them as the "playbooks" here.

  Man versus the state--one of the biggest, most neglected themes in literature. I am enjoying your take on that theme.

    I dunno, it seems to be a pretty common theme if you ask me.
    
    Hunger Games, anyone?

      No thank you.
      Hunger games, the bits I saw of it, appeared to me to be just more haves vs the have-nots.

For anyone who's interested, there's a non-fiction book I highly recommend titled "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve," by G. Edward Griffin, which deals with the same subject material as StraightLineLogic's novel.

Here's a video of the author laying out the premise of the book:

And here's a link to buy the book on Amazon:

If you're serious about becoming educated in the issues of national finance and economics, you should definitely get this book.

And thanks also to StraightLine for writing what I assume is a quality piece of literature. I'll have to read it sometime. ;)
