Book Description:
In this sequel to the well-received The Revolutionist, the American journey of three generations locks the neophyte company president, Burton Blake, in a vicious struggle with corporate intrigue, financial greed, and social corruption. Born to a taxi dancer at the beginning of the Second World War, Burton’s father, Elias Blake, never knows his natural father, who is killed in the South Pacific. He is raised by his mother and stepfather from her second marriage who makes his fortune during the post-war real estate boom of the ’50s. Their untimely death by his business partner leaves the boy Elias in the guardianship of his mother’s best friend and her marine vet husband who introduces him to the macho culture of guns and hunting.
Elias’s youth is influenced by the adult world’s drive for personal material gain. Over the next decades, he expands his parents’ original real estate empire into the diversified multi-divisional, multi-national corporation that he leaves to his son, Burton. Upon his forced return from traveling and working with oppressed third world people, Burton learns increasingly more about the true nature of his deceased father as he undertakes the challenges of leading the company in a new direction.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Burton Blake is the sequel to "The Revolutionist". And it is just as amazing and as enthralling. It is a page-turning story. I definitely enjoyed this book slightly more than I did the first. The best way I can put it is that if I want to go back and re-read both books again, I wouldn't feel any sort of need to put this book down. I was definitely stuck to my chair while reading.
Burton Blake does not follow the same characters as the previous books. It is it's own storyline. It takes place after World War II, in which Elias' father was killed during his service.
I really liked how the author created a base for the latter portion of the book. It was so perfectly worded and every detail clicked together. It was phenomenal. Another high recommendation.
