First Review For When Power Fails


Review Rating: 5 Stars Reviewed by Essien Asian for Readers’ Favorite

Basking in the success of closing the deal on the hostile takeover of Jeffersons Stores, Suzanne Simpson immediately plans to expand Multima Corporation's global interests. The first step in such a delicate process involves securing a loan that may make or break her grand plans. Suzanne is so focused on this task that she seemingly ignores a growing problem within the ranks of her loyal staff. Some of her old rivals are unhappy with settling for crumbs and plan to destroy her empire from within. 

Can Suzanne once again weather the storm and prove she is the master tactician, or will her old nemesis, Fidelia Morales, find a way to destroy everything she has built? Only time will tell in Gary D. McGugan's When Power Fails.

The eighth installment in Gary D. McGugan's entertaining Multima Saga series, When Power Fails is a gripping story that draws inspiration from the real threat that organized crime poses to the growth of lawful businesses worldwide. He keeps most of the characters from the first two parts, focusing the action once more on two strong women on opposite sides of the legal spectrum. 

Fidelia's and Suzanne's origin stories are thorough and skillfully integrated into the larger narrative's continuity while including significant incidents from their past adventures that brought them to their current position. The attention given to Suzanne's romantic life has grown, which gives her portrayal more nuance as a flawed leader who prioritizes loyalty over effectiveness in managing her subordinates. In addition, Fidelia's recent experiences explain her brutal nature toward her people.

These all result in exciting dialogues between the characters, drawing readers in and allowing them to guess which leadership style will ultimately prevail. By thoroughly explaining the story's business and bone-crunching action sequences, among other elements, McGugan enhances his storytelling style. He creates encounters that will leave even the most ardent crime genre enthusiast speechless. 

Read as a stand-alone or as part of an incredible series, McGugan's When Power Fails is an exciting blend of business, pleasure, and violence that will captivate fans of crime and suspense.
