Witty, charismatic Jason Steadman is a 30-year-old sales executive working for an electronics giant. He's well liked at the office, but he lacks the "killer instinct" necessary to move up the corporate ladder. To the chagrin of his ambitious wife, it looks as if his career has hit a ceiling. But all that will change one evening when Jason meets Kurt Semko, a former Special Forces officer, and gets Kurt a job in Corporate Security. Soon, good things start to happen for Jason and bad things start to happen to Jason's rivals.
No narrator portrays irony and sardonic expression more instinctively than Scott Brick. And that ability comes in handy in Joseph Finder's new corporate thriller. Jason Steadman, a mid-level electronics executive whose career has stalled, suddenly begins to rapidly advance up the corporate ladder as his rivals meet misfortune. As a gesture of gratitude, but unknown to Steadman, an ex-Special Forces member has been secretly sabotaging Steadman's competition. The disclosure results in a classic clash of wills and a surprise ending. Brick's narration is crisp and fast paced, but mellow at the same time. He has you on the edge as Steadman and his maniacal benefactor meet in the climax. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
