Acerca de esta escucha

The year is 2018. The United States has finally emerged from the previous decade's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the economic recession that threatened to tear the country apart. Eighteen months into his first term, President Tom Knowles sees a chance to put his stamp on world affairs when 32 American aid workers are massacred in Uganda by a group of rebel partisans. Knowles decides to send in troops into an area that China considers its African sphere of influence. Privately, the message from the Chinese is keep out. Publicly, they can only stand by and watch.

Six weeks later, stock prices on Wall Street are plummeting. Rumors of insolvency haunt a major investment bank, which is leading the rout. When the bank refuses a government bailout, and it becomes known that the Chinese state-run People's Investment Corporation is its major shareholder, the stock-marker slide turns into a panic. Are United States stock prices being manipulated by the Chinese government? As the president's team takes drastic action to protect the US economy, the Chinese government strikes back to protect its interests, and the confrontation shifts rapidly from Wall Street to Africa, where American and Chinese forces stand eye to eye. Who will blink first?

An economic and geopolitical thriller from a writer described as the heir to Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton, Trigger Point moves from the Oval Office to Africa to Beijing and paints a terrifying portrait of where we may be headed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Glass' terrific geopolitical thriller packs as much gut-wrenching suspense as any thriller in recent memory.... Glass expertly assembles the interlocking pieces of his frighteningly prophetic puzzle. This chilling, important novel should be read by all those in charge of our country's politics and finances." (Publishers Weekly)

A story that could have been taken from today’s headlines and will keep you listening to the end. A political novel I recommend to all.

Excellent

Don't know much about high finance, short selling, or real politique, but it sounded real and I may have learned a little and enjoyed a lot.

This is a very enjoyable book. It appears that the author wants to get climate change into all the discussions although climate change is not the politics of the book. It just seemed overdone and annoyed me. I think the book was great and I think there’s a possibility of climate change but we don’t need it in a story just to make a political point

Great but pushing climate change politics

Struggled through some of the tougher moments, but, glad I hung in there and finished.

Very interesting, sometimes depressing.

and how it is connected to African insurrectionists, the American economy, Chinese sovereign wealth funds and the strategies of stock market analysts is the fascinating storyline in this contemporary theme: We Are In This Together.

The Global Economy

A very knowledgeable understanding of the powers that be. With finances rolling around by some interesting characters. The undermining the share prices causing fear and confusion. The situation must be defused before the markets crash. If Wall Street is your interest then please read Trigger Point.

a powerful financial story nearing a frenzy

This was almost painful to get through. The story took forever to reach a climax which was anti-climatic. you can only talk about financial markets for so long before you lose the interest of the average reader. I won't even bother with the constant bringing up of climate and carbon emissions while there was talk of a military battle. I would say if your looking for an exciting read with international intrigue this ain't it.

Yawn

Interesting ideas and information, but a bit preachy. The plot, however, sounds terrifyingly possible. All in all worth listening to.

Different kind of plot

The story presented in this book has actually frightened me so close to reality, to what might actually happen, it could had been. The author must have good understanding of both the markets and political affairs… and also wrote one hell of a great story.

Well written book and a powerful story

Really liked it . Learned some things . Ending could have been better though. I really thought the narrator did a good job also.

Good
