Sudden Death: If You Got The Chutzpah, Sudden Death Works In Business, Too.

by Steve Manning

In 1963 the electronics industry in the US was growing by leaps and bounds. And like the aircraft industry, and the automotive industry that went before. The goal of making large sums of money taxed the very souls of the entrepreneurs competing for the "big win" in this new industry. Steve Manning has crafted a story set in these tremulous times. His characters, Brad Madden and Vinnie Mastellone, manipulate the game toward a "sudden death" ending where the stakes are more than bragging rights. They are life and death, and unimaginable wealth. The story moves through the harbored prejudices in the cross sections of American society, always on the road to the "sudden death" seconds where win or lose, rich or poor, success or failure, are balanced on a final give and take. And it's up to the reader to decide if they win, lose or draw in this double overtime drama.
