More Snakes Than Ladders

This is the first book of a trilogy, a true story of the earlier years of an Englishman whose business ideas attracted government ministers. When barely out of his teens, he helped to take on the pharmaceutical giants of the ‘60s and won. He then refused an offer to spy for his country but was arrested for spying, the man who got involved in the sex for secrets trade in Eastern Europe, and set up an office in Prague just before and after the ‘68 revolution, who sadly lost his good friend, Eva. He was unwillingly involved in one of the biggest acid raids of the late ‘60s and ‘70s in San Francisco, and escaped death by the skin of his teeth. He mixed with celebrities and heads of state, made a lot of money and lost a lot of money. Much of this takes place in the swinging ‘60s and ‘70s, when the slogan of the time was “make love not war” and it was the time of the Beatles. He loved adventure and when a new idea came into his head he had to follow through.
