Liam Carroll’s debut novel, Slippery, shines a blowtorch on the smoldering home truths of the finance industry and the hedonistic minefields of the expatriate lifestyle in Southeast Asia. Flynn James, a young man from the Sydney beachside suburb of Manly, previously content to live his life as a physiotherapist and surfer on Australia’s east coast, is awakened to the zero-heavy bonuses of the finance world. He abandons the sleepy life of health sciences, embraces the greed is good mantra and manages to flare past thousands of candidates in a Geneva simulation trading day exercise. He is ushered through the shady doors of a fiercely private Swiss commodities trading company and set on the path to oil trading superstardom. Based in Singapore and Shanghai, Flynn learns the ropes of commodities dealing at breakneck haste. With the arrival of his first seven-figure bonus, the glossy veneer of his overpaid world crumbles, setting the stage for a shattering finale. Much more than another mere exposé on the world of trading, Slippery is an adventure/thriller. It explores the gritty realities of successful commerce in the corporate maelstrom of Southeast Asia, the inevitable moral compass decimation when you place money above all else and is done so with a constant side-splitting, bitter self-loathing, terminal awareness. You won’t be able to put it down.

About the Author Being a reluctant member of civilised society and reliant on earning an income to feed, clothe and shelter myself, I’ve been forced to try my hand at a few career paths. I’ve cleaned bricks as well as dishes, both poorly. I completed a physiotherapy degree at Sydney Uni, but was unable to work in that capacity for too long. Noone ever told me it involved a hefty dose of touching up old ladies. Sure, they loved it, but I didn’t want to bathe my aching thumbs in ice every night purely for geriatric satisfaction. Around the age of 25 I sniffed out the eternal truth, there’s big money in the money game. There are no rules, brains or ethics, but there’s money…truckloads upon truckloads of easy money. I enrolled in a post grad finance course and lucked into commodities trading, pretending to understand not only what derivatives are, but also how to make money trading the things. I graduated from derivatives to physical oil; slippery, slimy, glorious oil. Slippery is my attempt to open up the world of oil trading and Southeast Asia. Both are hedonistic minefields where a moral compass is your biggest liability and the depravity of the human spirit is rubbed in your face all day, every day.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Funny and engaging debut novel. By Adrian Doyle This is an engaging and at times hilarious page-turner. I found myself at turns disgusted, amused and even faintly aroused by the actions of Flynn. However, you can't help but be blown along with the whirlwind adventures of the protagonist as he leaves behind his physiotherapy career for the heady heights of commodity trading in Asia, all thanks to an ever-so-slightly tenuous CV, a fortuitous phone call and the wherewithal to outwit the other greasy ladder-climbers encountered during the hiring process.Throughout the hilarious adventures I flip-flopped from wanting to join in the decadent revelry to being happy I remain largely ignorant of many of the people and processes that involve sending money, as well as large quantities of oil and copper concentrates of questionable origin, around the world.The writing is crisp and the book flies along at a fair pace. If I had one negative thing to say is that the ending felt perhaps a little rushed. But that could just be a side-effect of my disappoint at finishing this otherwise excellent book. That point alone however doesn't stop me giving this book a well-deserved 5 stars. I look forward to more offerings from the author in the future.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A laugh out loud great read By Geoff Fowlstone This book is an absolute ripper! It feels like a combination of Hunter S Thompson and Anthony Bourdain with a splash of early Marco Pierre White!Flynn, aka Slippery, aka Liam Carroll is a very naughty boy! His journey through the seamy underworld of global commodities trading is a ribald 'hold onto your seats' rollicking yarn. Enjoy the journey through the seedy, booze filled trading culture in Singapore and Shanghai as Slippery is blooded from naïve apprentice to global trader.This is laugh out loud funny with a tight, well honed writing style that is very hard to put down.
