Both books are now available through Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is very hard to marry entertainment with education \u2013 especially in the worlds of finance and shipping, but McCleery succeeds spectacularly in doing so.&#8221; \u2013 Mohnish Pabrai, Managing Partner, Pabrai Investment Funds on McCleery&#8217;s writing ability.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 but end up wedged between an American shale gas wildcatter and the energy-hungry Peoples&#8217; Republic of China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A gripping novel&#8230;Seamlessly woven into the plot are keen insights into the arcane worlds of Wall Street and Marine Transport. In view of the author&#8217;s second resounding success, his readers will cry out for yet another book to complete the trilogy,&#8221; \u2013 Wilbur L. Ross, Billionaire Investor; Chairman &amp; CEO, W.L. Ross &amp; Co., said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I enjoyed reading Matt&#8217;s book.
