The Chopping Block

Based on a true story, comes this insider's account of the complex and twisted world of Silicon Valley venture capitalists. Entangled in a multitude of puppet-stringed business deals, this tragically hilarious and nonstop hell-ride portrays some of the most ruthless and vindictive business leaders in the world. "I felt an obligation to present what only a handful of people get to see and how it affects so many careers. Trust me, no one up the food chain at your company is ever going to explain these things to you." Deep within this story, and appropriately analogous to today's economic climate, is a how-to guide for navigating around misguided and greedy people who often devalue the hard work of others. This "Godfather meets Wall Street" epic novel is the first from author James Mercs. It will have you turning pages quicker than the freefall of your 401k.
