THE NINE LAWS
THE NINE LAWS is your living manual of power, distilled for you by the man who was forced to build it to survive. The author forged this system over decades of cruel experience. It began with profound trauma in early childhood, shaped itself during long training in the eastern warrior arts, and was polished amidst financial industry competition and family crisis. Master this content, discover the full extent of your capabilities, and deliver yourself to a place that few men ever reach: joyous mastery of your own fate.
This book is not for the uncertain or the timid. THE NINE LAWS is designed for men who are acutely aware that one lifetime is all they have to pursue and achieve their sacred purpose. Far more than a mere self-help book, or a simple collection of advice and ideas, THE NINE LAWS is a gravely serious operating system for success in a dark world.
Read it. Train it. Live it. Survive the dark world with momentous ferocity, and triumph.

FIVE STAR TESTIMONIALS
★★★★★ "This is by far one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read. If you get absolutely nothing out of this book, it is worth reading just for the skillfully exquisite use of wordcraft."
★★★★★ "What this book can, and will effectively do, is remove the blinders for good and allow one to see what truly makes and moves the world we inhabit as well as our own souls with brutally accurate clarity, poetic vision and amazing penmanship."
★★★★★ "I look forward to buying this book in print, and buy my son a copy too. I would even front the money for leather bound, for this book is worth continuous study and implementation. It would be worth it."
★★★★★ "Therefore, this book belongs on the same shelf as Go Rin no Sho, The Art of War, the Writings of Takuan Soho, The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola and even St. Therese of Lisieux’s Story of a Soul. In fact, this latter makes a stunning juxtaposition for the reader of Christian background, and were I a teacher, I would have my students read St. Therese and Ivan Throne both back to back, and then assign them the reconciliation of the two."
★★★★★ "Something else: this book will challenge you. Not like a difficult course of study, but like when you stand in one of those dressing rooms that has two mirrors so you can see yourself from all angles, and you’re naked. It can be a little unpleasant. The introductory chapters have the spirit of calling the reader out, daring them."
★★★★★ "As a young person who is all too aware of the insidious forces arrayed against mankind and our never-ending struggle to properly live, I find The Nine Laws to be exactly what I need: an uncompromising call to action. Without having progressed past the most basic level of training that the book offers, I can already give The Nine Laws a perfect score simply by virtue of Ivan Throne's ability to capture universal truth in shining, razor-edged prose that will captivate and instill a healthy sense of dread in the aspiring reader. Once you step up to heed his challenge, there is simply no going back. His principles are stark and unbelievably empowering; his training is brutal and endlessly applicable. I know with certainty that this book will be a powerful tool in the quest to know and embrace God's eternal glory, for me and for all mankind. If you've ever been laid low by life, if you've ever let yourself down, felt the horrible void of withering, cloying unlife groping hungrily at your heart of hearts and recoiled, rightly disgusted with yourself for allowing this affront to your dignity, swearing with grim resignation that you'd do whatever it took to never let this happen again, this book is for you."
★★★★★ "I finally ordered this book after hearing about it over and over from people I respect. I always have a big list of books that I want to read so it takes a lot of people suggesting a book for me to finally add it to my stack. The Nine Laws did not disappoint! Ivan has a strong mastery of the English language. His own story is compelling. The lessons he learned in life are priceless. I read many books on life, success, business, psychology, philosophy, etc, and this one definitely stands out. It is full of cruel realism, yet also an underlying current of optimism. It's an interesting and useful combination. This book is great for the businessperson, warrior philosopher, politician, and pretty much any human being living in this work that is certainly 'dark' at many times. This is a valuable read; powerfully done. If you're even reading the reviews of it here it means you would most definitely benefit from having it on your bookshelf."
★★★★★ "The Nine Laws was tricky. It’s written strangely and some sections sounded like borderline heresy. The book was troubling in places. On the surface it appears that self-worship is being taught. But as I reached the last 20%, every message has come vividly clear and transformed the rest of the book with new perspective. Now it’s a must-read to educate my children. I can find no heresy at all and in fact am reminded of the Old Testament kings. The man who reads this book has a roadmap to join their status and upright posture. No Christian need fear being led astray by this book. Instead, Christian men should utilize this book to find how to better serve the Lord. We’ve had enough of simpering cowards clogging the pews; let us instead learn to be men who slay lions."
