Entrepreneur Meyer Dempsey is in New York, realizing the time has come to act on all the preparations he’s made without ever consciously knowing why.

It was better than I thought it would be.
Great. Bought the whole series.
It just didn’t grab me, and after a little while, I put it down.
I really enjoyed this clever story. I’m almost finished with the 2nd book in the series and have recommended it, with confidence, to friends. My husband and I read when we go to bed and I had to stifle my laughter as to not waken him. These guys are a hoot!
Excellent read! Grabbed my attention and never let go!
page turner as in wanting to move on

Cheating arrogant fuckery.
I like series and Sci-Fi so this book drew me in….I’m about to finish the last book (#6)!
