"Power Play" is the explosive new novel from Joseph Finder, the CEO of the corporate thriller - reminiscent of the film "Die Hard", this novel is a breathless, near real-time action, high-stakes adventure that you won't want to stop reading. Jake Landry is a junior executive at the Hammond Aerospace corporation - a steady, modest and taciturn man with a gift for keeping his head down, Jake also has a turbulent past that he would rather forget. Ordered to fill in for his boss at the annual company retreat, Jake is out of his element, surrounded by the arrogant, swaggering men who run the company and his only distraction is the CEO's special assistant - his ex-girlfriend. Then a group of local hunters crash the opening-night festivities. Soon the executives of the billion-dollar company are cut off from the rest of the world, trapped by men who have guns and a cunning plan to steal a vast fortune. But the hostage-takers aren't who they appear to be, and neither is Jake Landry. The only question is who is going to win the power play?

I found Joseph Finder's corporate thrillers last year for the first time. When I read "Paranoia", I was hooked. Then I read "Company Man" and it was nearly as good. Then I read "Killer Instinct" and again wasn't disappointed. It was a different story with "Power Play". Sure, there was plenty of office politics, and the novel was a page-turner, but it was a much more average tale than his previous books. I thought it took quite a while for the story to get rolling. I also thought that Finder bounced back and forth between flashbacks and present-day, and at some points I actually skipped a flashback or two and still had no problem keeping up with the rest of the story. The hero, Jake Landry, was a well-developed character but in my opinion was overdeveloped at the expense of the villains and supporting cast. So in summary I thought the book was okay. If you are new to Joseph Finder's work, I strongly recommend reading this one first so that you aren't disappointed. If you are a Finder veteran, then you may be a little bit let-down by this one.
