Jacobs Cross ..............................................

When Jacob is offered a deal of a lifetime with a Nigerian company providing all the financial backing he needs he is conflicted at the notion of losing his independence, yet seduced by the possibilities of heading of one of Nigerias most powerful businesses. In Lagos, Chief Aboyami, head of the Aboyami Empire reveals a secret and inheritance that changes the course of Jacob’s life.

But it not just a secret Jacob inherits, it is also a family and a dream. This complex inheritance sets Jacob on an epic quest and immediately pits him against both his new found family with long held business traditions and powerful enemies.
On the one hand our characters are all driven by a shared history of colonisation and a desire to tap into the wealth of Africa. On the other hand there are bitter feuds over who the rightful owners of the resources are, how they should be exploited and who should benefit. There are dreams of empire, of legacy and identity and belonging. This is a story in the classic genre of “Rich Man Poor Man”.

Jacob discovers what we must all learn in life – that in order to fulfil his dreams he must be prepared to lose everything first. Jacob’s Cross occupies a world of immensely rich empires. But this is not merely a story of an oil baron family (as in Dallas) nor is it merely a story of a powerful family (as in the Godfather), but it will be a uniquely epic story of African dynastic wealth.
