A brilliant fictionalized account of the real-world of financial takeover, this novel combines fable with journalistic realism in its story of the unsuccessful takeover of family-owned Sirius plc by electronics giant FMJ. Coauthored both by an award-winning scriptwriter and a former business executive, Takeover leads the reader through the entire takeover process, challenging currently held notions about the guaranteed success of a takeover, detailing, instead, both the financial and human cost of a business deal that eventually goes awry.
