Mark Lee is a rare creature indeed. Quite possibly, he’s the luckiest man in the world. But is it possible to have too much luck? Mark is a millionaire who made his fortune through sheer providence. He has several mansions, a pop star girlfriend, and more money than he can possibly spend. He’s arrogant, daring and sailing through life like a kite on a string. His latest stunt is a lawsuit against one of the largest banks in the world, the multi-national Hussein Bank, run by Rauf Hussein. With Mark’s luck, he’s sure to win, but is winning everything?
Mark Lee has simply pushed too many buttons and garnered the attention of some really powerful people who are willing to put his luck to the ultimate test. Rauf Hussein and his global network of billionaires decide to make a wager, against the indomitable luck of Lee.
It’s an underground blood sport, a game of life and death where billionaires from all over the world can bet on the chances of Mark Lee surviving to see another day. He’s already world-renowned for his extraordinary luck and cavalier attitude towards life, so Mark Lee quickly becomes the ideal candidate for an assassination experiment with a billion dollar jackpot.
They’ve stripped away his reputation, his freedom, his loved ones, everything. Now, they want to hunt him down and kill him. Surely, Mark Lee should crack under the pressure of a nationwide manhunt and a secret network of pissed-off billionaires out to see him squirm. Yet, somehow he manages to keep fighting back. As the bets come raking in, Mark gets closer to finding out exactly who is responsible for his recent troubles with fate. Lee better hope his luck doesn’t run out in this gritty tale of fortune, fame and revenge.

Like Stephen King? You may enjoy this. Gory game-played by sadistic moguls, profanity (lesser in later chapters).
Author definitely has talent and my rating is based on that. Would’ve given 4* w/o profanity.
1st reading stopped after the 1st chapter (cigar-smoking winged-fairy guy?) I thought I’d gotten a child’s book. It drew me in on 2nd attempt.
2nd reading: the author knows how to draw the reader in, the gore and profanity was unpleasantness surrounded by a very good plot. Who doesn’t think moguls are evil?
* longest review I’ve ever written, however, I want to explain the sharp upgrade in rating. My apologies to the author for not reading through the 1st time to find the talent therein. Recommended with provision for gore and profanity.

Too much
I love a good action book that is well written, however this book had too much going on with an unlikable main character. This book is not my cup of tea.
