Power Play: A Novel

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Dan John Miller

In Northern California two successful CEOs are both indispensable to their growing companies' futures. Both are brilliant at the power game. But the difference between them is huge. One is a man, the other a woman. In this riveting novel, Danielle Steel explores what that means as she takes listeners into the rarefied world of those at the pinnacle of international business and reveals the irrevocable choices they make, what drives them, and how others perceive them.

Even though Harvard-educated Fiona Carson has proven herself under fire as CEO of National Technology Advancement, a multibillion-dollar high-tech company based in Palo Alto, California, she still has to meet the challenges of her world every day. Devoted single mother, world-class strategist, and tough negotiator, Fiona weighs every move she makes, and reserves any personal time for her children. Isolation and constant pressure are givens for her as a woman in a man's world.

Miles away in Marin County, Marshall Weston basks in the fruits of his achievements. At his side is his wife, Liz, the perfect corporate spouse, who has gladly sacrificed her own law career to raise their three children and support Marshall at every step. Smooth, shrewd, and irreproachable, Marshall is a model chief executive, and the power he wields only enhances his charisma and is his drug of choice. And to maintain his position, he harbors secrets that could destroy his life at any moment.

Like many women in her position, Fiona has sacrificed her personal life for her career, while Marshall dances dangerously close to the edge and flirts with scandal every day.

Danielle Steel's gripping, emotionally layered novel explores the seductive and damaging nature of power. Success and greed, trust and deception, love and loss - all come to a head in this compelling drama of family, careers, infidelity, and the sacrifices some people make to hold on to power…or to let it go.

Power Play

Enjoyed this book so much along intriqué with it! Was very pleased on how thé ended! 📖

Power Play Novel

Would you consider the audio edition of Power Play to be better than the print version?

I can't say it if was better than the book, because I usually being buying audio books they don't take as much room and I like to relax and listen to them before I go to bed

A very well written novel!!

The story caught my attention from the first chapter!! I never wanted it to end!! Already have another ready to listen to♥️

Corporate power

The story was a little slow and I didn’t like that someone with power and ignorance like that did not get the punishment he deserved. Why did he get to keep doing what he did… use his power to take advantage of yet another victim.

sensational

enticing read. characters realistic and story lines believable. enjoyed the multiple relationships and how their lives intertwined. would be great to see liz story after her move.

Good Book

I liked it. Although, I wish the ending was longer and a little more intreeging. Its like the narrator just said, "The End." Good Book though. I do wish that there will be audibles for Danielle Steel's older books, for example Summer's End, The Promise, Palomino, Heart Beat and more.

Typically enjoyable Steel read.

Story easy to listen to, but male reader flunked at female voices. Next time, maybe have a male AND female reader?

a must read.

loved it. it was definitely worth buying. i will recommend it to my fellow reads.

Great story

Just wished a female narrator had told the story on behalf of Fiona since she was the main character in this story.

A Good Read

A well written read. Danielle has done it again. I like her characters & the story.
