Combining swashbuckling shipping adventure with corporate finance derring-do,
Viking Raid
follows the adventures of former hedge fund manager, Robert Fairchild, and archetypal Norwegian shipping tycoon, Coco Jacobsen, as they return to Wall Street to sell a $500 million Initial Public Offering – but end up wedged between an American shale gas wildcatter and the energy-hungry Peoples’ Republic of China.

With
The Shipping Man
described by
Forbes as „a great read,”
both novels
have received considerable praise from Wall Street and the international shipping industry for providing an insider’s view of two of the world’s highest stakes and most globally significant industries:

„A gripping novel…Seamlessly woven into the plot are keen insights into the arcane worlds of Wall Street and Marine Transport. In view of the author’s second resounding success, his readers will cry out for yet another book to complete the trilogy,” –

Wilbur L. Ross, Billionaire Investor; Chairman & CEO, W.L. Ross & Co.
on
Viking Raid
.

„I enjoyed reading Matt’s book. It captures the people, places and deals that make the shipping industry so great.” –

John Fredriksen,

world’s largest shipowner
on The Shipping Man.

„It is very hard to marry entertainment with education – especially in the worlds of finance and shipping, but McCleery succeeds spectacularly in doing so.” –

Managing Partner, Pabrai Investment Funds
on McCleery’s writing ability.
