Only The Strongest Survive by IanThis book starts out with a kidnapping of the CEO of a huge company that is worth billions in the stock market.Although I don't normally read thriller books this one held my interest because of the many aspects of it.The book concentrates on those who now run the company and the decisions they make with Emeily gone-they are still not sure if it was a kidnapping or she just needed a week away from things.Love the story line and learning about the stock market.Her life is spared, brought back to life and must now live where she has no outside contact with others but has transferred 2 million dollars to John. She had taken over his familys company several years ago and now John wants what the company was really worth-10 million.One brother, Ronald has no idea she is alive again, last he left her was in the ground in a coffin, buried.I am caught up in the moment of reading this and I can't seem to read fast enough to find the answers I want.John leaves many nights and from her basement room she can hear the alarm that sounds when one comes and goes into the complex.The story goes back in time as to how she got the position she held at the company and then to the present: She does get to spend some time with John as she advises him what to buy and sell and they get to talk about the past. She gets to know him.Love the explanations of how to buy and sell and why.Journalism during war or earthquakes was a new one for me.I am totally petrified for her and then he announces he will set her free.There is some sex and at times it appears to be rather brutal and at other times it's just a passion for sex.
