About the author
Stephen W. Frey
28 books281 followersFor the last 15 years I’ve been lucky enough to be a novelist. Until recently the books were set in the worlds of Wall Street and Washington. In addition to writing, I’ve also had a career in finance with specialties including merger & acquisition advisory and private equity at firms like J.P. Morgan in New York City and Winston Partners just outside D.C. in northern Virginia.
So, it seemed natural to write about those two worlds and, fortunately, the publishing industry agreed. My first book was published in 1995, The Takeover; about a secret group of men who were trying to destroy the U.S. monetary system by engineering a massive corporate takeover. I have followed The Takeover with 13 more novels all set in high-level finance and national politics.
Recently, I decided to alter the theme. The novels will still have a financial focus, but Wall Street won’t be the backdrop. We’ll get out into the world more. And there will be a man versus nature element for the hero in every novel. Hell’s Gate, available August 2009, is set in Montana and involves forest fires and why many of them start.
I live in southwest Florida with my wife, Diana, and we have since 2004 after moving down here from northern Virginia. Given the new direction of my books, it seems like a hurricane ought to make an appearance in a novel sometime soon.

Andrew Falcon is the youngest to make partner at his firm on Wall Street. Within hours of it happening, his niece is kidnapped and the responsible party wants him to get proof that his firm is funding activities that are fueling a race war in the US. Turns out the timing is related to an initiative proposed by the President to cut military funding and increase taxes on the rich. Falcon discovers that
Normally, I like it when authors pluck an idea out of the news headlines and create a story around it, but this one had too many over the top features. For example, there is a general in the military that is part of this conspiracy, but he's also a serial killer that fantasizes about having the female President as his next victim. I found myself rolling my eyes too many times while reading this.

So many characters and so many scenarios - I love it!!! Of course, I think that's what this author is known for. I've read several other of his books and they all seem to have the same thing going for them.
Sometimes it does take me a minute to remember who they are and where they fit in, but it also seems like the author always puts in little hints in there to remind you.
A great read that had me totally engrossed. From the White House to Wall Street, this story had it all.

Author relied on magic technology to move the story along, but it only cost him one star. A lot of financial detail. (Which comes with the territory when you read Stephen Frey.) Entertaining book. Some crossover with other works, a plus if you read them, not a factor if you didn't.

A fast paced, action packed thriller with a good plot line.

Absolute crap.
Monumentally ridiculous incomprehensible plot packed with reasonless gratuitous violence so extreme its totally boring. Wall Street Journal best seller? Can't imagine how that could be. It's free on Kindle and not worth the cost of the charge it takes to read it, although I confess I didn t get beyond chapter 14 before I put it down and couldn't pick it up again.

Andrew Falcon Jr. is a powerful hedge-fund manager and the youngest to make partner in his private investment firm on Wall Street. Unfortunately, his niece Claire is kidnapped and it's not money they want. The abductors are discovered tied to a conspiracy much larger than he could have imagined and possibly beyond his ability to quell. The question is: Can he deliver what they demand in exchange for his niece and also save his country?
Okay, I must admit to having an awful time getting into this book. Financial world aside, some fascinating glimmers of information, I thought the book would get into a financial conspiracy tied to big bucks and the manipulation of stocks or hedge funds. Nope. The abduction of his niece drives Falcon to find her. But then the plot widens to include some truly heinous characters at Falcon's own financial office, ex-members of a crime family, bad-ass military generals, and persons whose sole job is to incite race wars. Ugly.
The Red Cell Seven is a classified intelligence agency created by executive order for protection from catastrophic terrorist attacks. They answer only to the president and it is the threat to the executive office that gets them involved as the conspiracy touches into the highest levels of the government and is wide-reaching. The despots were despicable and Fiske in particular made to be over-the-top disgusting. Other characters were not wholly fleshed and I'm still scratching my head over Billie.
Not a pretty picture of those who would control the funds on Wall Street, but then few of us wear rose-colored glasses in that regard. Difficult to find someone to invest in, unless possibly the kidnap victim. The plot moves at a dizzying pace and has you going back to fact check. So Falcon isn't another 007; he isn't supposed to be. Not meant to be a feel-good ending and it wasn't.
I received this download from Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley and appreciated the opportunity to read and review. Recommended for those who enjoy financial thrillers, mystery, crime, kidnapping, military involvement, techy stuff, and dialogue bordering more on the realistic side than one of my generation generally appreciate.

The blurb said this was a best-seller. If it is then the formula for such success must surely be to dash off the book as quickly as you can and never mind the edits, characters, dialogue, or prose. Because this is an exceedingly poorly-written piece of rubbish that seems to have sold very well. The best things about this novel are that it is relatively short and that courtesy of my Prime account, I didn't have to waste any money on it.
The "good" characters are *all* the same: attractive, assertive, in control, and capable; the "bad" guys - we know little about other than they are determined to get their own way and will ruthlessly pursue their goals single-mindedly apart from the occasional sexual perversion. They are essentially, paper-cutouts. So far, so bad.
It is very difficult to distinguish one character from the other on the basis of their speech - they have no unique speech characteristics at all.
The prose is unconvincing, and littered with cliches, run-on sentences, dangling modifiers, and at times, aggravating overuse of terms. Like "IT bloodhounds". Whatever they might be. I even found a sentence that ended abruptly only to recommence again from the beginning. Even the worst self-editor would have picked this up. To make things worse, the quality of the writing declines the further into the book one gets, as if the writer just wanted to get it finished and then it became someone else's job to handle. Like a lazy tradesman, determined only to do a job well-enough to get money from the hapless victim.
All the things I've mentioned were repeated to me often during my writing course, and I listened, and apply them to my own writing today. Sadly, Frey has either not bothered to study the *crafts* of writing and storytelling, or felt they didn't apply to his work.
In all, this is a cynical piece of work, easily exceeded by any number of writers in the genre. I suggest that anyone considering this book should do themselves a favor and direct their thoughts to...anywhere else.

A Lot To This Story
Falcon, the youngest hedge fund manager to make partner at a prestigious Wall Street firm stumbles upon a "conspiracy tied to the US government - a rogue faction is manipulating the American people to establish a new order. Now facing impossible odds and a plot that goes all the way up to the nation's leaders, Falcon must find a way to save not only his family but also his country."
As I said in the title of this review, there is a lot to this story. A lot of people and a lot going on. It bounces around a lot and if I wasn't paying attention I could get lost pretty quickly. Not that there is anything wrong with a story that has depth like this - I was more surprised that there were this many angles that Frey decided to take (and they all seemed to come together at the end).
I thought a few times that Ultimate Power was going to lose me but it would draw me back in. I honestly almost stopped reading it because of a few random scenes that felt super out of place - I'm glad I didn't. It all came full-circle in the end. I just had a hard time figuring out what they all had to do with the story.
Frey can tell a great story, there is no questioning that. The overarching story in Ultimate Power is one that should scare most Americans. But some Americans might also find it laughable or too "conspiracy theory"-like (if that's such a thing). I was not one of those people. I enjoyed where Frey took me and I thought that his writing about the secret inner-workings of the President and the White House staff was pretty interesting - fictional or not. The black book was a nice touch and the protector-above-all-protectors was something new and different I've never read before.
Getting past some of the seemingly random scenes (warning: there are some scenes that could trigger someone who has been sexually assaulted) - Ultimate Power was a book about a power struggle. A book about trying to change America, and a book about the ultimate sacrifice for a job. If you enjoy thrillers that involve what I said above -- you'll probably enjoy this one. If scenes of rape (no real actual scenes - just eluded) or conspiracy theory based novels bug you - skip this one.

With the possible exception of Billie, there's not one character in this book that is likable or even remotely believable.
The main characters, Falcon and tangentially Jensen, are written as wannabe Marvel comic book superheroes, perfect in every way.
The President plays out like an unpopular fifth grader who's trying to get back at the cool kids by punishing them with what she learned in Intro to Civics and hoping that the other kids in the class like her for it.
The Senate President, Speaker of the House, senators, and members of congress would never roll over so easily on a major piece of legislation, even if they completely believed in the cause. They would pack the bill with thousands of pages of pork benefiting their constituents and themselves.
The bad-guy I-bankers read like a pack of Snidely Whiplashes, twirling their handlebar mustaches with glee while watching the train bear down on the poor damsel in distress tied to the tracks.
The cartoonishly evil military leaders are portrayed like perverse General Reginald Skarrs. Even in the wake of January 6th, the whole storyline is absurd.
Throw in an ex-member of the Gambino crime family and a few other characters that appear out of nowhere, aren't fleshed out, then disappear never to be heard from again without ever seeming to have had any connection to the overall arc of the story.
Every tired trope is on display.
I've read and enjoyed many of the author's early books, but while reading this book there were too many pages where I got to the bottom of and thought, "I don't care".

Whatever Stephen Frey writes is guaranteed to hold your attention, teach you about the financial world and the military while making you think. That formula works in this novel as A.J. Falcon, a Wall Street prodigy, discovers that his company may not be just the most powerful firm, but also involved in political intrigue. Meanwhile the President of the United States is making enemies of important, powerful groups - Falcon’s own money men and the US military, with plans to tax the one and slash the other. All of this happens in an environment of racial divide being orchestrated by power mongers determined to pit groups against each other. Sounds like a lot to put into one story, but Frey ties it all together in great novel. I received an advanced digital copy through #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The first thing I noticed about his writing style is that he consistently led with the weaknesses of his characters. Another things I noticed was that he seemed to have two lists: everything the Liberals love, and everything Liberals hate about stereotypical ultra-right-wingers. He went down the list, checking them off. He also had a tendency to take you through 3/4 of a conversation before having someone speak up that you didn't know was even there. The person's presence was no surprise to the other characters, he just didn't set the scene sufficiently to let you know who was present. In the end, I liked it a little better than I thought I was going to at the beginning, but not well enough to tell others to read it.

A.J. Falcon has just become the youngest partner of the Sutton Group. How could he want anything more on Wall Street? It comes with a price that may turn out to be too high for the privilege. His 16 year old niece is kidnapped and everything he does from now on is to get her back. In the process he finds that someone on Wall Street is supporting racial riots all over the US. The president has decided to cut the military and increase taxes for the rich. That will bring private & government on the same side faster than anything. What are their plans? Can they pull them off? Can AJ trust anyone around him? Many questions need answering but the most important thing is saving Claire.

Not great.
This is a strange one to review because as much as I liked some of the characters, including Falcon, Troy, Billie and President Hilton and the free flowing chapters involving the aforementioned, I just found that there was too much going on at once for a 300 page book and it seemed to take me a good 50% of the novel to get to grips with all the characters in the story due to the amount of characters that were being thrust in front of us.
That said the ending was brutally exciting and for me saved the book at least one star.

This book is a financial thriller that involves Wall Street and the top levels of US Government. I have to say it wasn’t my favorite book by this author. There were a lot of characters and sub plots to keep track of and I was a bit confused sometimes, especially at the beginning of the book. It was hard to see how they all connected. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy of this book.

Bad really long which makes it even worse
Started okay, like a new take on The Firm and many other books. But then author decided that he is better, and immediately it turned bad. Took many characters, long winded plot with twists that that sound good only to the person who wrote this book and his immediate family. I have up after reading a bit over half of the book.
Waste of time completely

Very interesting story. If this novel were true it is frightening.
A plot to overthrow the President and the government by internal military kingpins and vicious Wall Street allies.
If the plot were not figured out by a hedge fund manager working with the firm that is over throwing the government the liberty and freedom as we know it would not exist.
Eerie similarities to what is happening in today's environment.

Not so much. Would get Zero stars of it was possible.
This novel was a complete waste of my time and imagination. I actually feel less smart for finishing it, but I thought I would give it a chance to be better. Predictable, trite, and very disappointing. Perhaps Mr. Grey should consider a different kind of work.

For fans of conspiracy novels. This one blends evil Wall Street with evil government and while it's good that Andrew is out to save the US, it was just too much for me. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Fast action
A very quick reading page turner. Providing a few unexpected outcomes that tend to shock the reader. Perhaps a little too much banter between A.J. and Troy in their first meeting. I truly enjoyed the book and hope there are future RC 7 stories to be told.

Pretty good. Some slow spots but good plot.
Pretty good. Slow in spots. A lot of surprises. A bit unimaginable. I was rooting for the bad guys at one point but saw the good side of things.

Gripping thriller
You know it’s a good read when the story is believable enough to imagine it could possibly happen one day. I couldn’t stop reading it until I had finished.

Shock and awe doesn't do justice to this one!
The author does himself proud in this edge of your thriller.
The nail biter black and forth keeps you on your toes. Try to put this down and it will call to you to return.
