Books by James Murdoch

This year of reflections gives a fairly comprehensive view of Equity Crowdfunding. It is based on articles I wrote for AngelNews and it felt a good time to put all this together in one place, in the hope that others might learn from my journey whist starting theirs. I am a great believer of learning from doing and sharing experience with colleagues. My reflections on this sector are based on building a Portfolio over seven years, hence this not a purely theoretical book, although I share learning about the mechanics of Equity Crowdfunding and include an extensive Glossary.My Portfolio has grown to be one of the broadest portfolios, if not the broadest in the UK, covering about investments in at least 600 companies. The individual investments may be small but such a portfolio has demanded significant resource.From the beginning, I have been keen to learn from fellow investors and from founders and to share my information, analysis and conclusions on the Platforms. When a new investor asks basic questions, I remember that I was a newbie not so long ago. Writing articles was a natural follow on and I was pleased to be asked to write for AngelNews and now to share this book version.

The human race is about to be destroyed by the Breeder Grays and replaced by millions of hybrids--half human, half alien--the Breeders have created. The weapon of destruction: an enormous asteroid the aliens have diverted to strike earth. Only Michael Kendon, a renegade assassin and sole survivor of a crushed resistance movement, can keep it from happening.Kendon has only three days to locate a powerful weapon designed to deflect the asteroid, a gravity-beam device fueled by the same exotic element that propels the Breeder spacecraft. But to find the weapon, he must first gain the loyalty of a woman whose father, the creator of the weapon, he was forced to kill.During their heart-pounding quest, Kendon's lethal skills keep him and Laura Meller alive and on the move, but his extraordinary mental abilities prove the most bedeviling to the Breeders and their human collaborators. Gray Apocalypse is a warp-speed journey into the heart of universe darkness, and it is an unforgettable tale of human survival and personal redemption.
