The Shah Legacy: Gold bonds, billions and yellow cake

**********Gold stirs men's souls**********Billions are theirs if they can just live to collect

The dream of action and adventure, mystery and suspense in the intrigue of international security, global monetary maneuvers and covert espionage proves irresistible to our intrepid heroes. Reluctant pawn Michael Charles and the ex-Shah of Iran's nephew Bobby King find themselves the prey of every espionage agency in the world when they retrieve billions of dollars of gold-backed bearer bonds from the Shah's safety deposit box in Iran.

Belonging to the one who bears them, the bonds attract the attention of governments around the world, not excluding Iran herself. Meeting a mysterious descendent of the ancient Nehalem in a dark cave, complete with live Gargoyles, the men learn the ultimate goal of the Iranian fanatics and decide to opt out, but that can't be allowed.

The value of the bonds in the mega-billions and the ownership to the person or persons holding them, not even aerial dogfights between competing nations can overcome two resilient men's determination. And then, unbelievably, they find themselves on a 'Not Welcome Here'-list issued by the government of their own country. When billions are involved, governments do not play fair.

Born in 1946, second in a family of six children, in the then sleepy Southern town of Washington, D.C., where secretaries wore white gloves and hats when going to lunch. This, just before the migration of workers from the south expanded government offices. Michael’s father’s business would take him as a helper into many government buildings, agencies and international Embassy’s where, as a curious adolescent, he would glean all he could from the desks of Ed Murrow, U.S.I.A. Radio Free Europe propaganda, many embassy’s and the private homes of George Will, Walter Lipmann, Ray Chalk and others. This early exposure to the workings of government led him to Liberal Arts and the study of Political Science at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland and on to a Pre-Law curriculum. Psychology and religious studies became hobbies with copious reading in both disciplines. Descendent from the Rommal’s on his mother’s side-Irwin, the Desert Fox, and Bishop Oliver, now Saint, on his father’s side, there were conflicted spirits in his closet. Ever the adventurous one whether flying planes or riding super motorcycles at excessive speeds, he had to have the hair on fire and ride in the wind to feel at home. In his books he incorporates his adventures and knowledge of people through thousands of intimate interviews in his business career where he had become a National sales director and executive vice-president of a prominent marketing company with tens of millions of dollars in sales productions each year. This is where he met the Shah’s nephew and many other unique characters.
