Overview

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Po Bronson comes a riotous satire of bond traders which is “perhaps the most entertaining depiction of greed on Wall Street ever to reach print” (Business Week). Sid Geeder is the King of Mortgages at Atlantic Pacific, accumulating bonuses and stock options at a rate that drives other bankers wild with jealousy. But Sid is miserable. He is fed up of selling bonds he hates to people he despises in a job that consumes his life, and he is desperate to cash in his lucrative options and get out. The only one who can replace him is Eggs Igino, a rebellious boy wonder who refuses to be seduced by the money or intimidated by management threats. When Eggs mysteriously disappears, total havoc follows, and in the chaos Sid finds himself torn agonizingly between his promised payout and his long-anticipated freedom. As fast-paced and frenetic as the stock exchange itself, Bombardiers is an unforgettable US National Bestseller about corporate America and a book that defines our times.
