The Navigator

By: Michael Pocalyko

Narrated by: Christian Rummel

Wall Street comes to Washington in Michael Pocalyko’s The Navigator. On the darkest night of 1945, a 20-year-old B-24 navigator assists in the liberation of a German concentration camp. His haunting trauma is prologue to destiny.

Flash forward to present-day Manhattan. Warren Hunter, reigning master of the financial universe, is poised to close the world’s first trillion dollar deal. ViroSat is the Street's biggest-ever technology play - an entirely new worldwide communication system. It will catapult his investment bank and the global economy into a bright future... if the deal goes through.

In Washington, ViroSat captures the attention of Senate political aide Julia Toussaint.

Meanwhile, battered tech start-up veteran Rick Yeager has just landed his dream job at a mysterious but well-connected financial firm whose partners want a piece of the action. Warren, Julia, and Rick are caught in a web of intrigue, money, power, and dangerous secrets. Coincidences are not what they seem as the past collides with the present in a way that will change their lives forever.

A gripping story written by a consummate insider from both Washington and Wall Street, Michael Pocalyko’s The Navigator is a furiously paced parable of our troubled age.

Great story with complex characters and a compelling plot.

This is an outstanding book. Once you start listening, it’s hard to stop. This is a financial thriller with believable, multidimensional characters. You don’t need to understand finance to appreciate the intricate plot.

Intriguing story with lots of twist and turns

What did you love best about The Navigator?

Pocalyko does and excellent job of developing his characters and intertwining multiple story lines. The mix of Wall Street meets DC meets spies makes for a nonstop thrill ride.

What about Christian Rummel’s performance did you like?

Christian Rummel brings the story to life. His ability to voice all of the characters allows your imagination to pull you right into the story. I love Dick Hill, but I will be checking out Rummel's work.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for Pocalyko's next book.

OK

This was a decent but formulaic thriller. The narrator was just fine. A good read but maybe wait until you find it on sale.
