The Sides
With action moving from the fast-track of
Silicon Valley to a Moroccan prison cell,
from secret war games in the California
desert to sexual espionage in the nation s
capital, The Titan Game tells the story of a
young man brought up in the weapons
business--and disgusted with it--who is
suddenly forced to adjust to a world he
never made. Jason Streck, once a hostage
of another kind, inherits his father s
defense-procurement empire and is swiftly
drawn onto turf staked out for profit by
international merchants whose currency is
finding new ways to kill--and Streck s com-
pany has one.
Many lives beyond Jason s are reshaped
or wiped out, blessed or cursed by the new
machine and the battle for its control. The
youthful CEO must learn to deal with the
high-level boardroom and bedroom proto-
cols of the elite Pentagon "E-Circle" group
and of certain men and women seeking to
penetrate it.
The Rules
The rules of The Titan Game are as deadly
as gas and as devious as fog; among them:
torturers can become esteemed customers;
bystanders are seldom innocent; a man s
worst enemy is often himself; and your best
work can betray you.
Busch shows the storytelling skills he has
honed over a number of best-sellers. The
Titan Game is a compelling novel that cuts
with the knife edge of fine suspense and
gleams with authority and claritY.
