Having worked as a bookkeeper for too many years I have witnessed and seen corruption in the business and financial world. They are cut-throat. I have always heard a rumor that there is a group of people that call the shots--all of them. Do I believe this--YES. Although this is a novel I found it all to believable.
This novel will make you stop and wonder what really goes on in the world of finance and if it does affect our governments and what happens to our economies.
A great read and a very believable conspiracy theory-at least to me.

ZERO ALTERNATIVE is an action-packed conspiracy thriller that plucks at the base of human nature. When our grip on love, hope and morality starts to slide, the only future worth living is the one we choose for ourselves.

Those who have wealth make the rules. That's just a sad fact throughout history. This sounds like a good read (although I am not very conspiratorial). Thanks for the review!
