Three best friends:
Charlie Mercer, the technical visionary and idealist behind the cryptocurrency platform.
Jack Windsor, a highly disciplined engineer. She built the system and keeps everything grounded.
Nik Volkov, the charismatic promoter who attracts attention, investors and public support.
They meet while studying at MIT, a casual partnership discussing ideas and sketching the bones of a plan. Upon graduating, they combine their abilities to create Advantage, a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading platform that benefits those who need it most – the everyday person sending money at little cost.
Hold On For Dear Life has everything. A financial thriller, with a market collapse, major hack, a secret multimillion-dollar trade, and a kidnapping.
The strength is Annelise Osborne’s equal interest in the emotional consequences of success. The friends must decide whether they are still pursuing their original purpose or merely protecting their reputations and fortune. Not to mention their pride of creation.
An intelligent, absorbing debut about friendship, resilience, survival, and rebuilding after failure. A character-driven start-up drama, and a thriller grounded in financial culture.
Well recommended page turner with no need to understand the world of cryptocurrency.
