Description: He remembered what Herb had told him...."The very word 'merger' is a misnomer. One side or the other takes over. People get hurt. Mergers are the economic fashion of the hour....I don't know if this is a disease, a madness, or a blessing. I only know that, if, one goes through a merger, it's a damned good idea to be on the winning side."
Les Madigan learned fast how it felt to be caught in the nerve-shattering struggle to be on the "winning side" in a drastic company reorganization which was squeezing his friend and boss, Herb Powell, out of his position of control. Where he and Herb had once stood together, there was now a limit to their teamwork, and they were competing with men who knew the television world as well as they; even their wives, Carol and Doris, were hard pressed to find ways to protect the men they loved. 
Full of the intrigues of a business-world phenomenon that drives men to the limit of their abilities-to destruction or to salvation-this is a fast-paced, gripping novel about the melting-down processes which take place when men and women are thrown into the uniquely modern crucible known as THE MERGER.
Notes: A novel.
