title: Viking Raid: A Robert Fairchild Novel
author:  Matthew McCleery 
description: <span><span>"<b><i>Viking Raid</i></b> is a gripping novel about the shipping travails of Robert Fairchild and their surprise ending. It begins where Matthew McCleery's first book, <i>The Shipping Man</i>, left off but you can enjoy this one without having read its predecessor. Seamlessly woven into the plot are keen insights into the arcane worlds of Wall Street and Marine Transport, plus an insider's colorful descriptions of both industries' favorite executive watering holes." - <b><i>Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Chairman &amp; CEO, WL Ross &amp; Co.</i></b><br /><br />"<i>Viking Raid</i> is perfect for everyone from the shipping tycoon to someone who just wants to a good weekend read. This riveting international maritime story has incredibly insightful information about shipping finance along the way, and I am eagerly waiting the possible next installment of the Robert Fairchild series." - <i><b>Tom Nork, gCaptain.com</b></i><br /><br />"The fictional Robert Fairchild is one of the hottest names on Wall Street." - <b><i>Bloomberg.com</i></b>
