The Book of Thieves

Book excerpt: The Book of Thieves is the story of how a greedy few destroyed a nation called Oblivion. Oblivion was once a great place to live and work in, with excellent laws to protect everyone who worked there, and to keep conditions fair for them. Not anymore. A greedy few called Banksters cheated and stole after working harder at getting the rules changed and finding ways to simply ignore them than at earning an honest living. The Banksters were assisted by an untrustworthy Trustee, a Key Holder, and Dealers. The Oblivious – the citizens of Oblivion – did not notice until the deed was done. This cautionary tale should be read carefully, because it can happen anywhere. It can happen in any country, even with the best of laws. All that’s necessary is for people to not pay attention, and for a few to cheat, lie and steal. Those who do not pay attention can expect to lose their homes and worse. Life is unfair, and so are the Thieves.
