Items related to Bombardiers
THE BOOK: They were the bombardiers, hunkered down behind their screens at Alantic Pacific, dealing bonds they hated to people they hated in jobs that took all their lives. Sid Geeder was King of Mortgages and Eggs Igino his lietenant. The air they breathed was rotten with the stench of high tech, information economy, pure capitalism and with the frenzy of grunts driven wild by impossible targets, unmeetable deadlines and overwhelming work loads, they wanted only out.

Review:
"The most entertaining work of fiction on Wall Street since Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities."
--USA Today "A hilarious must read for anyone with a brokerage account or mutual fund."
--USA Today "The prose explodes with the force of a volcano, the dialogue is as flashy as a fireworks display, and the characters are as relentlessly driven as motorcycles on the wall of death."
--Time Out "Perhaps the most entertaining depiction of greed and dishonesty on Wall Street ever to see print...Bronson is a major talent, able to craft the kind of passages you reread just to revel in prose with a compelling cadence all its own."
--BusinessWeek "The first thing you'll want to do after reading Bombardiers...is to buy futures on Bronson's career. This first novel is both funny and wise."
--San Francisco Chronicle
