Representaion Concering Books Kerri's War (The King Trilogy #3)
"Greed, Corruption, and Dishonesty Lose Out" This is the third and last story of "The King Trilogy." I've read the first two, which are excellent, but this one is the BEST! I loved it! In this last episode, Kerri King has become legendary on Wall Street. She is now the president and CEO of Iacardi and Sons, commodities brokers, with offices in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. She should be at work today, Tuesday, but she's down with a with a severe case of influenza. It's September 11, 2001. Her life is spared, but her company is being ripped and torn apart as the building is struck by a huge hijacked Boeing 767, Flight 175. In London, Peter Tavaris, a senior trader for Iacardi postpones the conference so he can follow the news of the NYC disaster. He has frequently been passed over by Charles Iacardi for senior management positions and also as president in favor of Kerri King. He hates women, especially Kerri and has a vindictive core. Kerri's dad, Mike King, and his wife Karen arrive home to Muskoka, Canada. At 59 years old, he's been successful with his XG Petroleum company by its growth into a national chain. He and Karen now have time to enjoy slowing down a bit since Golden National Oil has 50 percent interest in XG. They are aboard their 21-foot Donzi boat headed for Azimuth Island which his wife has inherited from her late parents. The large three-lake area is the retreat area for the rich and famous to enjoy their multi-million dollar cottages. Kerri is devastated about the destruction of the South Tower in which of her 346 employees, only four have survived. She needs to talk to her dad about the 186 million dollars left from a settlement with the government over oil sales back in 1991. Miles Dennis, her mentor at Iacardi who has died in the attack, had moved that money to Switzerland as Mike didn't want anything to do with it. But now Miles is dead and the only people who know about that money is Mike, Karen, and Kerri who's the sole owner of that account. Kerri wants to use that money to help the families of the Iacardi employees who had died on 9-11. But no one knows if that money is hot or cold, and there would be questions when that money came back into the United States. She wishes to give it all away, equally to each family, as an anonymous donor. Sounds like a plan? Yes, but someone is going to try to get Kerri tagged perhaps for tax evasion on those funds over the last ten years. Would it be Tavaris who is contacted by an old classmate who wants to buy Iacardi, only in a stock exchange, no cash. Kerri holds only three percent of the stock, but Tavaris is adamant to seal this proposed deal, even if it means burying her in dirty laundry, or a grave. This is an easy to read story I could not put down. It's compelling, extraordinary, finely honed, and sometimes even heartbreaking. But I read it to the very end, and the last two words made me laugh out loud! There is nothing boring about this exemplary novel written by very talented Stephen Douglass. I hope he is working on another book to thrill me. Give it a shot, it will inspire you!Rating Of Books Kerri's War (The King Trilogy #3)

This is the third and final book in the King Trilogy. If at all possible it was better then the first two which I loved. Again the action is non stop and at times heart stopping! The events of 911 figure prominently in this novel. A company, with the exception of 4 people is decimated. Corporate intrigue, all too common in our investment world interspersed with corporate greed and shenanigans will have you thinking twice about putting your hard earned money onto investments.

Another page turner by Stephen Douglass. This is the final book in the Kingl trilogy. I can't figure out why there has to be just the three. There is potential for many more. I hate that it's ending. Of all three, I believe this is my favorite one. Each book stands alone, even though the collection is a trilogy. I love the character, Kerri. Mr. Douglass has done an excellent job with both plot and character development. Jeffrey Archer couldn't have done it better. Thanks for bringing us this
This book is moving and gripping. The terror attack on the twin towers on 9/11, whereby Kerri King loses almost all of her employees. a very powerful touching read very well authored by Stephen. Enjoyed and recommended.
"Kerri's War (The King Trilogy)" by Stephen Douglass is both moving as it is gripping. The story begins with the terror attack on the twin towers on 9/11, in which our protagonist Kerri King loses almost all of her employees. The opening sequence is very powerful and sets up the Kerri character very well. Determinded to use all funds available to look after the families left behind by the tragedy she has to battle her own business partners and other enemies to achieve her selfless goal. But in
I very much dislike it when a character behaves illogically and out of character simply to add suspense to the story. It makes the story blatantly contrived and unrealistic. And this story is seriously guilty of this unpleasant literary technique. The story is suspenseful, but it's a false sense of suspense. The story would be greatly improved if the author had spent more time and words developing the characters and less on artificial actions and behaviors. Mathias Lenssen's performance is
