Invisible Fortune Book Review Summary

It is already second book reviewed by these two wonderful authors and hope to see new fresh books available as soon as possible.

Ed Teja is a boat bum, magazine editor, freelance writer, poet, musician and traveller. He writes about the places he knows, places that lie in the margins of the world. He loves writing about the odd people, the interesting people who inhabit those margins.

Insight from Invisible Fortune

In the review of Invisible Fortune is a story of high-tech vigilante justice. It was inspired by a steamy tropical atmosphere, cold drinks, and lithe, sweaty bodies. It’s the story of how the temptation to deliver justice overcame common sense and perhaps whatever common decency I once had. But then, betrayal for a worthy cause can taste mighty sweet. The work will make the reader pause and think, and some of its conclusions may be arguable, which is one of its objectives. How it all works out, well, you will just have to read the book.

A little bit from Invisible Fortune

Tropical heat, money, and lust

Henry Miller once said, “One’s destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things.” I think that’s why, on an extended vacation from my programming job to Cartagena, Colombia, I let a rich and chatty American ex-pat tell me his story. I wasn’t impressed or even particularly interested—not until I met his beautiful assistant and heard rumours that the man had a dark secret. Even then I became intrigued mostly, I suspect because learning the truth was a way to get to know her.

This is modern fiction, a story of high-tech vigilante justice. It was inspired by a steamy tropical atmosphere, cold drinks, and lithe, sweaty bodies. It’s the story of how, ultimately, the temptation to deliver justice and satisfy my own desires (to possess both the tangible and intangible) overcame common sense and perhaps whatever common decency I once had.

But then, betrayal for a worthy cause can taste mighty sweet even if its never quite clear, at the end, who seduced whom you can still have a happy ending.

Invisible Fortune: A Tale of Cryptocurrency

Also, I would like you to suggest to read Author J. Lee Porter and Ed Teja Crypto Shrugged book review here

If you are an entrepreneur, most of what’s discussed in this book should not be a surprise.

However, if you come from a progressive or liberal viewpoint, it might be a big eye-opener. You also might have the misconception that the entire book is about self-destructive greed. It’s not. To summarize the book in a nutshell, Crypto Shrugged is about free will and letting others act rationally selfish.

Overall, Crypto Shrugged is Good from a literary standpoint, and I give it 8 out of 10 stars. From a philosophical view, I give it 9 stars, for a combined rating of 8.5 stars. The book might not be perfect, but its themes come close.
