The Throw of the Dice

This is the first book of a trilogy, a true story of the earlier years of an Englishman whose business ideas attracted government ministers.

He was unwillingly involved in one of the biggest acid raids of the late '60s and '70s in San Francisco, and escaped death by the skin of his teeth. He mixed with celebrities and heads of state, made a lot of money and lost a lot of money.Much of this takes place in the swinging '60s and '70s, when the slogan of the time was "make love not war" and it was the time of the Beatles. He loved adventure and when a new idea came into his head he had to follow through.R.D. Craze recently experienced a terrible tragedy in his life. Lost and bewildered, he needed something to focus away from the recent painful memories. Then an idea came to him, he had a garage filled with diaries, contracts and data of his earlier travels and life as an entrepreneur in the '60s and '70s which by themselves were quite dramatic. Written as a trilogy, to see what his tragedy was, you can find out by following his story.Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/ RDCraze
