by Stephen Douglass (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 67 ratings
“A beautiful love story.”

“I just can't get enough of this series. I want to follow the characters to the end of their days”

“A very powerful and touching read!"

“Couldn't get any better than this!
"If you don't read this book, it is your loss. I loved it!”

“I have just completed this third tale of the King Family and the twists and turns they have faced for two generations. These books are rare. While the characters in all three thread together, each book is a totally singular narrative. The plot lines are complex yet the author's strength, and this is a rare talent, is keep you in the loop, even if an event he is referencing happened decades in the past and you haven't read another of the King saga.”

“The book is a great finish to the trilogy, powerful, convincing and inspiring.”

“I read the 3 book King Trilogy in 3 days. It was great, had trouble setting it down to get some sleep."

“Of all three, I believe this is my favorite one. Each book stands alone, even though the collection is a trilogy.”

"I have just completed this third tale of the King Family. These books are rare. While the characters in all three thread together, each book is a totally singular narrative. The plot lines are complex yet the author's strength, and this is a rare talent, is keep you in the loop, even if an event he is referencing happened decades in the past and you haven't read another of the King saga.

All three are well written and keep your attention in every chapter. Douglass has a firm command of the financial and commodities markets, and the legal system. His dialogs are real. He paints great scenes and portrays action well.

If you enjoy a rich read with a genuine sense of the realities the characters inhabit then these three novels will not disappoint."

You are about to read the story of a thirty-three year old woman who chose to go to war with the greed and avarice of big business, the overwhelming power of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and a billion dollar shareholder lawsuit against her. Simultaneously, she chose to fall in love with a man who was engaged to marry another woman.

Kerri King’s dedication and tireless work ethic had taken her to the top. She was the president and CEO of Iacardi & Sons, one of the largest and most successful commodity trading companies in the world. Everything was perfect, until the company was nearly decimated by the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Tormented by the loss of all but three of the company’s New York employees, and driven to provide a source of income for the families and loved ones of the Iacardi employees who died on that terrible day, she begins the fight to rebuild the company.

Virtually all of the cards and circumstances are stacked against her. The company is broke. Charles and Mario Iacardi, the company’s founders and financial providers, are dead. Peter Tavaris, Walter Deaks, and Billie Dukes, the three surviving New York employees, are vehemently opposed to Kerri’s continuing leadership. Enerco, a gigantic Houston based energy trading company, conspires to purchase Iacardi & Sons, and employs every dirty trick in the corporate playbook to accomplish that objective. Desperate to salvage value for their Iacardi stock, the shareholders launch a billion dollar lawsuit against Kerri, and vote to have her removed as president. In her quest to provide financial relief to the estates of deceased Iacardi employees, Kerri choses to give away to the Iacardi estates every cent of the fortune accruing from her father’s tainted trust. Her decision triggers disastrous consequences doled out by the Internal Revenue Service.

Kerri’s troubles are not confined to the corporate world. Just when she thinks she has at last found the love of her life, she is horrified to receive an invitation to his wedding in Naples, Florida, on New Years Eve, December 31, 2001. The wedding is like no other she, or any of the invitees, have ever attended.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born and raised in Canada, Stephen spent the first half of his career working for the two largest oil companies in the world: Exxon and royal Dutch Shell. He spent the second half working for one of the smallest oil companies in the world; his own. Now retired, he spends his summers with his wife, Ann, at their Canadian home near Niagara Falls. He winters at their Florida home in Port St. Lucie. When he is not writing, he is reading, traveling, or playing bad golf. He plans to write until the day he dies, probably longer.

For Stephen, writing was an accident. When his friends in Muskoka and Florida became aware of the story of his incredible life in the Canadian oil business, they encouraged him to commit it to writing. They insisted it was a story that must be told. Reluctantly, he did, and after more than twenty years the story of AN ENDLESS AND CONFLICTED LOVE, A MAN WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE AND NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE DOING IT, and ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST AUDACIOUS THEFTS IN CANADIAN HISTORY, was finally made public. Stephen has entitled the book: The Bridge to Caracas, for reasons that will quickly be obvious to readers. The genre is romance crime fiction, if there is such a genre.

The sequels,The Tainted Trust, (the story of what happened to the $325,000,000 stolen from the Canadian and U.S. governments), the second in The King Trilogy, and Kerri’s War, the third volume in The King Trilogy, are now live on Amazon KDP.

Stephen has said, “If readers have half as much fun reading The King Trilogy as I did writing it, they will be enriched.”

    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014

    This is the third and last story of "The King Trilogy." I've read the first two, which are excellent, but this one is the BEST! I loved it! In this last episode, Kerri King has become legendary on Wall Street. She is now the president and CEO of Iacardi and Sons, commodities brokers, with offices in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. She should be at work today, Tuesday, but she's down with a with a severe case of influenza. It's September 11, 2001. Her life is spared, but her company is being ripped and torn apart as the building is struck by a huge hijacked Boeing 767, Flight 175. In London, Peter Tavaris, a senior trader for Iacardi postpones the conference so he can follow the news of the NYC disaster. He has frequently been passed over by Charles Iacardi for senior management positions and also as president in favor of Kerri King. He hates women, especially Kerri and has a vindictive core. Kerri's dad, Mike King, and his wife Karen arrive home to Muskoka, Canada. At 59 years old, he's been successful with his XG Petroleum company by its growth into a national chain. He and Karen now have time to enjoy slowing down a bit since Golden National Oil has 50 percent interest in XG. They are aboard their 21-foot Donzi boat headed for Azimuth Island which his wife has inherited from her late parents. The large three-lake area is the retreat area for the rich and famous to enjoy their multi-million dollar cottages. Kerri is devastated about the destruction of the South Tower in which of her 346 employees, only four have survived. She needs to talk to her dad about the 186 million dollars left from a settlement with the government over oil sales back in 1991. Miles Dennis, her mentor at Iacardi who has died in the attack, had moved that money to Switzerland as Mike didn't want anything to do with it. But now Miles is dead and the only people who know about that money is Mike, Karen, and Kerri who's the sole owner of that account. Kerri wants to use that money to help the families of the Iacardi employees who had died on 9-11. But no one knows if that money is hot or cold, and there would be questions when that money came back into the United States. She wishes to give it all away, equally to each family, as an anonymous donor. Sounds like a plan? Yes, but someone is going to try to get Kerri tagged perhaps for tax evasion on those funds over the last ten years. Would it be Tavaris who is contacted by an old classmate who wants to buy Iacardi, only in a stock exchange, no cash. Kerri holds only three percent of the stock, but Tavaris is adamant to seal this proposed deal, even if it means burying her in dirty laundry, or a grave. This is an easy to read story I could not put down. It's compelling, extraordinary, finely honed, and sometimes even heartbreaking. But I read it to the very end, and the last two words made me laugh out loud! There is nothing boring about this exemplary novel written by very talented Stephen Douglass. I hope he is working on another book to thrill me. Give it a shot, it will inspire you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Stephen Douglass Masterpiece!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016

    Kerri’s War is the third book in the King Trilogy and another Stephen Douglass masterpiece!- I didn’t want this Trilogy to end.

    Kerri King is now the President and CEO of Iacardi and Sons. Due to her natural keenness and instinct for the trading in the commodity markets, she has become a legend on Wall Street.

    Kerri’s War begins when the terrorist attack on September 11, 2011, hits the World Trade Center in New York, hitting the South Tower, in the spot where Iacardi and Sons New York offices are. The attack decimates the New York headquarters, killing 338 of the 342 employees. Only four survived. Three of them were in London at the time. Peter Tavaris, Iacardi’s most senior trader, Walter Deaks, and Billie Dukes, watched the event unfold on CNN from their hotel room in London. Kerri Pryor was at home, in bed with a virus. She also watched, in shock as she realized that all of those people whom she had known and cared about were gone—their families left behind, with a dismal future. She also realized the impact the loss of the offices would have on the company.

    Karri’s main concern is the plight of her employees’ family members. She desperately wants to give then financial security, to help ease their loss. She decides that she wants to rebuild the company as quickly as possible, and she begins that task immediately.

    She also decides to divide the tainted money in the King’s Trust, into equal amounts and anonymously give it to each family affected. It would give them each a considerable amount, and it would disburse the ill-gotten money that had brought nothing but grief to her family. This generosity brings many complications into her life when the Feds find out about it.

    When Ken Layton, president of Enerco, a gigantic energy trading company with headquarters in Houston, calls Peter Travis and says that he wants to buy Iacardi and Sons, promising to make him President, Travis is elated. He hates Kerri Pryor. He firmly believes that he should have been given the position as President and CEO at Iacardi, but he had been overlooked once again. This was a way to oust Kerri as President, and become wealthy with the shares that he would have in Enerco. He vows to make the deal happen, even though he knows Kerri will not be receptive to it.

    While Kerri fights to rebuild Iacardi, Peter Travis, and Ken Layton wage war against her. Underhanded tricks, murder, treachery, and betrayal frighten her, but Kerri is strong and determined. Even when she seems to be beaten, she does not bow.

    Can Kerri reclaim her place in the Corporate world? Will she ever find love? Does she want either one?

    Do not miss this stunning finale!

    There is no loss of adventure in book three “Kerri’s War” as we follow Mike King’s daughter Kerri and her unbelievable adventure. Some time has passed in book three as we step into the next century where Mike King’s beautiful daughter is all grown up. Kerri’s company and employees are right in the middle of the horrific attacks that change history and she looks to help the survivors by donating the remainder of the money that Mike her father had given to her to the people and their families. This is still an extension of the stolen money that the King family vowed never to spend but Kerri believed it was time to do something good with money. Unfortunately, her secret as to why she had the money had been discovered and causes more turmoil for the King family. This the last book in the series and you will want more, but sorry folks it does come to an end and an extraordinary end it has.

    The opportunity to apply enormous wealth to good deeds is explored and brought to reality by Douglass . People of conscience and moral strength are revealed in this third Douglass story. Douglass developes a good read that no matter the odds and conniving by unsavory characters ,individual strength on doing the righteous will prevail .
    The author creates a difficult path that engages the reader at a stimulating level..the need for love and support is a strong message undercurrent leading to succsess. Douglass has connected this into another suspense with a more recent post 9/ 11 setting . I enjoyed this read and recommend it
