: The Takeover
Author: Stephen Frey
A fun book from Frey, with an outrageously ridiculous plot. Unfortunately the plot is revealed early on and we spend half the book wondering how things are going to be resolved, which they do at a slow pace. The plot’s crazy: a secret society of seven powerful men engineer a scheme to take down a president. They set up the world’s largest hostile takeover of a company and set up the president for insider trading on the stock. The main character’s a young man who is setting up the takeover, not realizing he’s a pawn in the larger scheme. When he finds out, he’s got to stop them. Ludicrous, but I guess theoretically financially sound. Good fun.
