Paranoia
By Joseph Finder
Ah, welcome to book (audio) review #1. I don't care what the experts say, listening to an audiobook, is almost, as good as reading the text yourself. And with the amount of free time I have, it's better than the alternative, which is don't read OR listen.
Adam Cassidy is your above average slacker. A junior product line manager for routers at Wyatt telecom. He hates his job, spending the day doing just enough to not get fired. A great bullshit artist, Adam hatches a scheme to divert corporate money in a fund to throw a lavish party (ice sculptures and all) for a retiring dock worker, who wouldn't have even gotten a thank you, if it weren't for Adams party. Adam fully expects to get caught and fired. He does not expect to get caught and threatened with embezzlement and Corporate Espionage, a felony with guaranteed prison time. To his surprise he is made and offer by the Nick Wyatt, the arrogant and ruthless CEO of Wyatt Telecom. Take a job at Wyatt's rival competition, Trion Systems. Integrate into Trions corporate culture and seek out a find information on "The Auroroa" Project. A project that is rumored to so revolutionary it will change the world. Wyatt wants it. And Adam has no choice but to accept.
Adam is given a fake resume, and spends weeks in training on how to look and act like a young corporate superstar on the fast track to success. Trion, seeing the opportunity to steal one of Wyatts young guns, hires Adam immediately. A triple digit salary follows. Trion leases him and new Porsche 911 and pays for his 2000 square foot apartment. Adam begins to use the techniques and tools taught to him by Wyatts security experts. And he's getting results, Wyatt is pleased with his progress.
But a funny thing happens to Adam. He discovers that he's not faking his performance. Putting in long hours to make himself seem legit to his new Trion peers, he realizes that he has always had the power to be successful. His newfound self confidence gets him noticed by the CEO of Trion, Augustine "Jock" Goddard. Goddard is so impressed with his initial work, he creates a position for him. Executive assistant to the CEO. Adam's transformation to a hard working, honest individual is accelerated by his new boss trust, something he never received from his own father. Adam has found his niche. He realizes that he can no longer betray Goddard. He decides its time to break the Wyatt puppet strings. To say anymore would give away the ending. This one had me completely wrapped up. If you can, check it out. You won't be sorry.
