THE FOURTH ORDER—Stephen Frey—A book of financial intrigue, governmental intrigue and very very unlikable characters. I take that back, the teenagers are by far the best of the lot. Their Dad, Michael Rose, is a high-powered take over artist whose been put up to purchasing a conglomerate to get to one particular part of the business, CIS, a global information technology company. The government is going all out to prevent the loss of CIS,to it, a hidden asset. Personalities become conflicted with business, love affairs go off base, everyone is using everyone else; in all a huge bunch of nasty characters. In truth, I had a hard time finishing because I disliked them all so much.
