Fame and Fortune Weekly No. 5: Hard to Beat

Frank Tousey

Meet Bob Brooks, a scrappy messenger boy running through the canyons of Wall Street with nothing but his wits and a whole lot of nerve. When a lucky tip lands in his lap, Bob doesn't just grab it - he builds an empire. But this isn't some quiet success story. Bob's got enemies closing in, and he'll need more than just business acumen to survive. He'll have to be brave, be cunning, and be willing to fight for the little guys who can't fight for themselves. Frank Tousey delivers pure turn-of-the-century pulp adventure: fast-paced, full of sharp turns, andPowered by the kind of dream where a kid from the streets can beat the tycoons at their own game. If you've ever wanted to time-travel into a world where courage and cleverness are all it takes to make it big, this is your ticket.
