Book excerpt: Travis Holmes was a young man who had an all-consuming drive to succeed in the business world. It became a lifelong obsession that controlled his thoughts and actions throughout his career. At times, his ambition would betray him and impel him into doing things that were totally outside the limits of lawful or moral behavior. Success seemed to follow him throughout his turbulent career. Failure at any task to which he had committed himself was never an option. His ambition had at times influenced questionable decisions; however, he considered his choices to be justifiable when success was the reward. Holmes' career was launched as a trainee at Global Enterprises where he worked smarter than most of his colleagues. He progressed rapidly within the organization and, through a deviously orchestrated scheme, became a key executive with the firm. Global's chief executive took a special interest in his future. When Global Enterprises merged with Royal Kingdom Limited, Holmes' talent and commitment forged a path for further success; however, he was haunted by a conscience that knew that one day he would be accountable and judged for his unscrupulous behavior.
