The World Economy Crashed and Burned. What's a BrainTrust To Do?

Having barely dodged an extinction level event, humanity now faces a new disaster: the world plunges into a Great Crash deeper and more cruel than the Depression of 1929. The BrainTrust has an answer. But the old, corrupt, dirtside Powers don’t need an answer.

They need a scapegoat.

Soon an unholy alliance launches three mighty fleets, each individually powerful enough to destroy all the combined navies of WWII. Relentless and unstoppable, they bear down on the effectively unarmed archipelago.

Now Dash and her mentor Colin must face a last question.

It will be her Final Exam.

Can Dash even accept the only answer?

How terrible is the price she will have to pay?

Welcome to the thrilling finale of the BrainTrust saga!


Note: For this novel, in collaboration with five economists and two cryptocurrency software engineers, I developed a new currency that should work in real life to flatten the boom/bust cycle. So if you'd like to see one way an advanced civilization could deal with economics, you could read this not only as a good yarn but as a guide.

Memories of past lives begin to flood her mind with clarity unlike anything she has ever experienced before.
With each vision, she inches closer to discovering her true identity, the reason behind her endless rebirths, and the mysterious figure who has waited lifetimes for her return.

Lyra was a beloved philosophy teacher who died a hero, only to awaken as a three-year-old orphan in an unfamiliar world. With no memory of how she got there, she’s given a new name by the children around her: Luck.
Determined to live up to it, she brings hope and prosperity to the struggling orphanage while secretly searching for the truth about her birth parents.

But just when it seems her efforts are being rewarded, everything shatters. Promised a family reunion, Luck is instead nearly sold off in a twisted marriage scheme.
Salvation comes in the form of an unexpected raid, led by the very people who claim her as their own.

She is not just Luck. She is Isolde, daughter of one of the realm’s most powerful dukes.
A destiny awaits. One written in lifetimes.

I walked into the wrong hotel room...
To a naked man fresh out of the shower.
Now, I’m pregnant with his baby.

I should’ve left as soon as I saw him.
He was too beautiful to be real.
I got halfway to the door…
And then he saw exactly what I was trying to hide.

“Who hurt you?” he said when he glimpsed the bruises. “Let me fix it.”
I should’ve said no.
But honestly? I deserve a little luck from the universe.
And if it wants to provide that luck in the form of a gorgeous, six-foot angel of darkness…
Well, I won’t turn my nose up at that.

But nothing in this life comes without strings attached.
My angel gives me a night from heaven…

When morning comes, though, he turns into a devil.
And not just any devil.
This devil knows where I’m from.
Who I am.
What I’ve done.

And he’s determined to make me pay for all of it.
