  • IT IS GOOD TO BE BAD - Chronicles of the Guild E. E. Linsen

    18:59|
    In a world where technology gallops ahead and surveillance seeps into every corner of life, one man dares to rewrite the rules. It Is Good to Be Bad is a razor-sharp thriller that opens the Chronicles of the Guild trilogy with style, substance, and a touch of rebellion.Meet Christopher Martin-Olsen: brilliant, ambitious, and not quite the villain you’d expect. When opportunity knocks—loudly—he seizes the chance to build something extraordinary: a network of discreet operations designed to help the ultra-wealthy and powerful dance between the raindrops of legality when doing what is still ethically acceptable. But no good disruption goes unpunished.As governments grow more watchful and institutions more ruthless, Christopher must navigate a web of competing interests, shifting loyalties, and morally murky waters. A secretive cabal supports his vision—though their motives remain as layered as their influence. Consequently, when allies falter and enemies strike, survival demands more than ingenuity; it calls for boldness, sacrifice, and perhaps a few well-calculated risks.This is no dry lecture on financial trickery or bureaucratic overreach. With wit, grit, and a fast-paced narrative, It Is Good to Be Bad explores the thin line between principle and pragmatism. Its characters are complex, flawed, and painfully human—each facing their own internal battles as they clash with external forces that are as real as they are relentless.Is Christopher a mastermind or a pawn? A hero or a villain? That’s for the reader to decide. What’s certain is this: once you enter his world, nothing will seem quite as black and white again.Clever, suspenseful, and unsettlingly plausible, this novel is for anyone who enjoys being challenged as much as entertained. Because sometimes, in a world stacked against you, it’s not about being good— it’s about being good at being bad.

Continue with him as he pursues medical education whilst rafting and reggae dancing in Jamaica, then enjoying junkanoo in the Bahamas, following the Knicks in New York, admiring the majesty of the Hawaiian scenery, and bracing himself against the cold winds of Ottawa.

He considers his upbringing, under the influence of his mother, as unforgettably rewarding.His preteen schooling was derived from the British Standard English, requiring a shift from the local broken english.Planted in his brain at an early age was the inspiration to become a medical doctor. Secondary schooling at the Grenada Boys Secondary School led to a West Indies Federation scholarship to study medicine at the University College of the West Indies in Jamaica.In his desire to travel, extended medical training took him to the Bahamas, New York, Hawaii, and Ottawa. He then became his country’s first pathologist, followed by employment in Suriname, Nassau (Bahamas), with PAHO/WHO, Freeport (Bahamas)—his home base---, and the BVI.A name, originally intentionally derogatory, this Kayak has proudly plied his craft to many lands.
