Bombardiers - Hardcover
The "bombardiers" sit hunched behind their computer screens at Atlantic Pacific, dealing bonds. It's an addictive profession and one addiction leads to another. One by one, each dealer goes through a personal hell. They breathe the air of high-risk capitalism and the tension of tough deadlines.

Review:
Regardless of how you feel about investment banking ("It's a complete scam!"; "It's a great way to make a killing!"), this non-stop novelistic indictment of the shark-infested financial world--and by extension, much of the corporate world--is bound to make you laugh uproariously--and think deeply. As fast-paced and frenetic as the stock exchange on a Monday morning.
From the Back Cover:
“The most entertaining work of fiction on Wall Street since Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities.”
—USA Today
“A hilarious must read for anyone with a brokerage account or mutual fund.”
—USA Today
“The prose explodes with the force of a volcano, the dialogue is as flashy as a fireworks display, and the characters are as relentlessly driven as motorcycles on the wall of death.”
—Time Out
“Perhaps the most entertaining depiction of greed and dishonesty on Wall Street ever to see print...Bronson is a major talent, able to craft the kind of passages you reread just to revel in prose with a compelling cadence all its own.”
—BusinessWeek
“The first thing you’ll want to do after reading Bombardiers...is to buy futures on Bronson’s career. This first novel is both funny and wise.”
—San Francisco Chronicle
