The Great Gambler
HARD SCI-FI takes on HIGH FINANCE at the black-edge of Wall Street... where capital emerges from human yearning and declares that it MUST GO ON. THE ANALYST is a speculator in the ticker market, a picker of common stocks who makes a farcical bet and loses too much money... even the firm with the name on the door. With the regular investors no longer interested, a new backer must be found - a continental gentleman named LEFEVRE. Lefevre offers a generous salary, and full carry too. But his contract contains strange stipulations. Moreover, he insists on calling himself a quantitative, claiming he MANAGES HIS MONEY USING MATH ALONE. Lefevre's methods have already made him a fortune. What use could the analyst be to a man like him?
