An off-site corporate event gone disastrously wrong. The largest ransom in history. The price-tag: dead or alive. Now, in Joseph Finder's explosive thriller Power Play, it's up to Jake Landry-a modest, steady guy with a dark, hidden past-to save them all...
It was the perfect retreat for a troubled company. No cell phones. No BlackBerrys. No cars. Just a deluxe lodge surrounded by thousands of miles of wilderness and a desolate seacoast.
Jake Landry is a junior executive at the Hammond Aerospace Corporation, a steady, modest, and taciturn guy with a gift for keeping his head down-and a turbulent past he prays he's put behind him. Ordered to fill in for his boss at the annual offsite, he's out of his element. He's uncomfortable with the lavish accommodations and especially with the arrogant, swaggering men who run the company and the only person he knows there is the new special assistant to the CEO-who happens to be Jake's ex.
Then a band of hunters, apparently lost in the woods, crash the opening-night festivities. Soon the execs of a billion-dollar company, cut off from the rest of the world, find themselves at the mercy of a group of men with guns...and a cunning plan to take Hammond Aerospace for all it's worth.
But the hostage takers aren't who they appear to be and neither is Jake Landry. The high flyers hadn't wanted Jake to come along. Now he's the only one who can save them.
This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.

The theme here is corporate kidnapping. Finder’s protagonist, Landry, a talented aircraft engineer, finds himself invited to a corporate conference with his bosses. He’s ill-at-ease, condescended to by his high-flying colleagues – and even more discomforted when he finds an ex-lover – now a corporate high-flyer herself with the company -- is behind the invitation. But then an audacious, violent kidnapping of the entire group takes place. The body count rises, and Landry begins to look like everyone’s best hope for survival, while his more high-profile colleagues demonstrate less finely-honed survival instincts.
To say that the tension is orchestrated here with a master’s touch understates the case. Cliché it may be – but it has to be said: you won't be able to put this one down. It’s beginning to look like just a matter of time before Joseph Finder assumes his justified place in the upper echelons of thriller practitioners. --Barry Forshaw
