Summary: Another great Sheldon tale of greed, lust, and vengence
Review: Sidney Sheldon's story of big business, lust, greed, and revenge spans four generations, starting with Jamie McGregor, who leaves Scotland in 1850 to strike it rich in the diamond fields of South Africa. He overcomes many hardships, becomes a millionaire, and starts the Kruger-Brent company. His daughter, Kate, pushes the company until it becomes a world-wide conglomerate, and moves her headquarters to America. To her chagrin, her son Tony wants to be a painter, not a businessman. His twin daughters, Alexandra and Eve, are as different as can be. One of them may be a killer...
The book is absolutely riveting, with Jamie's adventures putting him in a new danger on every page. Kate, the so-called Master of the Game, spends most of her ninety years buying and manipulating everyone in her path, in her relentless search for a worthy corporate successor. As in all of Sheldon's books, there is action, suspense, romance, and memorable characters that his fans are sure to enjoy.

Summary: my first sheldon-- still the best!
Review: If you want to read 500 pages just to get to a crappy ending then go ahead and read this book. I just don't get it. It fails you, you expect something and all you get is 'i know someone whos a dear old friend of Zubin Mehta'If i missing something please fill me in, otherwise I do not recommend this book.

Summary: Please do not waste your precious time on this schlock
Review: A woman recaps her life and the life of her company through her father, husband, children, and even her grandchildren's lives. How she became the woman she is and what she did to obtain and keep her power. The people she encounters are useful only if they can help her. Even her family is not safe from her powerful clutches. She controlls everyone--even if it means protecting a murderer--if it meant her family name and company would be spared.
