But something stops Sparrow from throwing that final punch and suddenly it's all over. Fifteen years later Sparrow is working as a driver for the gangster Simon Williams, trying to turn a blind eye to the scams, the extortion rackets and the rough justice handed out by Williams and his heavies.

So, you were not born with a silver spoon? You did not study in a 'well-known' school? You could not afford to go to a great college? You were not privileged enough to secure your dream job? Like it or not, but we live in an unequal world; life here does not promise fair treatment to every individual. If you were born lucky and could afford it all, this book can at best intrigue you a bit, but it is not really meant for you. If not, this is exactly the book you need. Welcome to the Scrapper's club. The only two things you need to be here are a dream to succeed and an urge to face life as it appears before you without whining. This book does not promise you the moon (and neither will it deliver any). For more than three decades, Damodar Padhi has used this time-tested and all weather resistant (read resilient) approach with great success. If you are someone who equates success to only money and power, keep the book back on the shelf and browse on. But if you are looking for success that includes financial freedom, happiness, and purpose, we are ON. The Scrapper's Way will take you through life's many crossroads and teach you the art of making sensible personal choices both at work and in personal life, and above all purpose to enrich every aspect of it. One part in every story as a behind-the-scenes memoir, the other part as the fuel to make you think; this book will lay out your own path to success in an unequal world.

Salla Saar was a promising explorer once, living a whirlwind life of adventure alongside his partner, Natke Orino. However, one bad day was all it took to shatter that life to pieces. Now, he’s a scrapper—a pirate riding the wild seas of the Odyssan Archipelago. His crew’s latest job is simple: escort members of a shadow syndicate called Gargazant Ikahn to a clandestine meeting, no questions asked. However, that simple job turns out to be but the opening gambit in a long-dead empire’s return to glory…and Salla has unwittingly played a part. There’s only one path to redemption, and that road leads him back into the past, to Natke. If he can’t set things right and stop the syndicate from reaching a lost city of untold power, there is only one outcome: WAR.
