Belongs to SeriesLargo Winch (Omnibus 1-2)
Largo Winczlav, born in Yugoslavia, is an orphan. Thousands of miles away from his native town, one of the richest men in the world will change his destiny. He has the same name as him, only slightly different: Winch. This man, Nerio Winch, wants to find an heir to his empire. He adopts Largo and, when Nerio disappears in dramatic circumstances, Largo inherits the biggest conglomerate of multinationals ever owned and managed by a single man. He is now worth 10 billion dollars, which is not to everybody's taste... No library descriptions found. |

Interesting story, lots of action and adventure. It paves the way for further look at Largo himself because although he is a rich playboy he sure is capable of picking up the fight with anyone who threatens him.
One thing that annoyed me (and why it is not 4 stars) is a complete mess when it comes to Largo's origins - Yugoslavia. Being familiar with the area I am pretty sure you don't have gypsy circus troupes anywhere over there, and especially no Polish names. As a matter of fact only thing they got correct is woman name Danica (where c = tz in local languages).
But even with all of the above it is enjoyable story, got me looking for volume 2. ( )
