Joseph Finder: Power Play
On my recent trip to Cincinnati I purchased the latest Joseph Finder book, my favorite author, Power Play. His site sums up the plot as:
"It was the perfect retreat for a troubled company. No cell phones. No BlackBerrys. No cars. Just a luxurious, remote lodge surrounded by thousands of miles of wilderness.
All the top officers of the Hammond Aerospace Corporation are there. And one last-minute substitute — a junior executive named Jake Landry. He’s a steady, modest, and taciturn guy with a gift for keeping his head down and a turbulent past he’s trying to put behind him.
Jake’s uncomfortable with all the power players he's surrounded by, with all their swaggering and posturing.The only person there he knows is the female CEO’s assistant—his ex-girlfriend, Ali.
When a band of backwoods hunters crash the opening-night dinner, the executives suddenly find themselves held hostage by armed men who will do anything, to anyone, to get their hands on the largest ransom inhistory. Now, terrified and desperate and cut off from the rest of the world, the captives are at the mercy of hard men with guns who may not be what they seem.
The corporate big shots hadn’t wanted Jake there. But now he’s the only one who can save them.
Power Play is a non-stop, pulse-pounding, high-stakes thriller that will hold the reader riveted until the very last page."
As I expected, the book was high thrilling, a fast read, and just a great fiction. I was first introduced to Finder by an ex-colleague via the book Paranoia. Finder is a master of the business world thriller and I have seek high and low for similar authors and I'm yet to find one I enjoy as much as Finder's work. I now own have read all of his books even those that were turn into movies.
The bottom line is that if you are seeking to get the best action you can read, then Joseph Finder is your guy. The Boston native has a way of telling a story that keeps you at the edge of suspense.
