DaVinci Code for the Wall Street Set

Yes, a real code that Business Week magazine said was the DaVinci Code for the Wall Street Set. What did overnight radio host of Coast to Coast AM, George Norey, have to say about this book: WOW! He was blown away as I listen to him interview Bob Taylor and since I have known Bob for years and followed his journey with the Code I asked Bob how many books were sold in that hour. Close to thousand books in one hour!

Yes, if you have been reading my previous articles, then you know that I'm a former investigative reporter for Post Newsweek TV. Bob is truly an amazing person who has done very well financially having owned one of the largest construction companies in the Southeast USA.

However Bob was more interested in pursuing what would eventually get him nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics, the Code! He sold the construction business and then created a think tank to pursue the Code with five of the top theoretical physicists in the world. Well you would have thought they would break the Code but it actually was Bob who did it! One of the physicist, Robert Bass, said that this was the Code that all theoretical physicist had been trying to break for close to 300 years and here a former businessman and amateur scientist had done it!

Bob decided not to pursue the Nobel because when you do you are required to share all your findings for the world to see and he wanted to least make back the money he had spent hiring the team.

Well he shopped the Code to numerous financial institutions and they could not believe what they were seeing and just put on the blinders and used the old standby: not invented here!

So Bob came up with another idea after reading Dan Brown's book. Why not put the Code in a fictional suspense thriller and share it with the world? He did and the rest is history!
